Hatch Turbo n tune. Help!

[Vteckidd]

I think you can get a decent turbo kit built for a little around 2000 dollars, if you already have a decent turbo and front mount I/C. I would definantly find out what kind of turbo it is though first. If he's giving you some ebay turbo, then you probably don't want to use it. If it's a decent turbo I think you can get a full install and tune for right around 2000 dollars. 1500 might be pushing it and make you skimp on some parts you really shouldn't.

Mr. Kidd gave you a pretty good outline for what you should be looking to pay, but you can get some of the parts he listed for a little bit cheaper while not sacrificing quality.
rc injectors can be had for around 300$
walbro 255 - 100$
If you already have an intercooler you can get some pretty decent piping kits on ebay for 100$.

I think you should be able to get all the parts for around 1500, then you have to get install and tune. I would suggest getting it installed and tuned at the same place, because if you install it yourself then you have to drive it untuned to a shop which you risk major damage, much easier just to have them do everything.

The RC INjectors you speak of for $300 require a $20 resistor box and wiring to make them work

or you buy $400 saturated an the are plug an play.

The EBAY piping kits are universal and require cutting an welding to fit, which is obviously more $$$

No, actually the ones I was looking at are the saturated high resistance model, and their actually a little bit over 300, but still less than 400.

Yeah the ebay piping does require some cutting and welding, but not 250 dollars worth. He already said he had a front mount I/C as well. I can't vouch for the quality of it, but if it's decent why not use it?

My biggest problem would be with the turbo, you can probably get away with using a less than par I/C, but I would definantly have the turbo checked out by someone who knows about turbos. The last thing you need is the turbo blowing up and sending little fragments into your engine.

Go to FROOGLE and type in RC Saturated Injectors, the average price is $385. RC retail is $100 per injector, MAP is $90 per injector

$90x4= $360+shipping

Depends what intercooler kit he gets. MOST universal ones will be $300 by the time its all said an done. If you have the belt sander, cutting blades, and tig welder to do it yourself youll save some money
