Sorry no I get you but my only main hesitation is pricing cuz I don't wanna blow the engine and replace everything but again ok noob here but I saw some turbo kits for 4000 and some for 500 so WTF

If its built right and has a tune you will be fine, not to mention you can find a replacement d-series for 10 times cheaper then a b or h series. You might want to take a step back and do some research and answer some of your own questions. Buying a $500 SS Auto crap turbo kit would'nt be your best move.

$500 Turbo kit = Garbage

I've heard nothing but great things about Garrett turbos. $4gs is about the average price of a new turbo kit.

Kk I'm not gunna spend 4 large on a turbo kit honestly all I want from my engine is 190-220 hp and 150-160 ft/lb I'm not going to be racing but I want a zippy car 0-100 in under 8 seconds something that'll push me back in my seat if I press down on the gas I'm ready to spend money but 4000 is waaay too much


Ok so I did some research and found some kits on eBay for 1000 so I think I'm gunna buy that with the vitara kit so 1500 in total

Sound good??

If you are not mechanically inclined, stay the hell away from a turbo.

Things will be breaking much more often and you'll keep going back to a shop to troubleshoot. Remember, the more parts you change from stock, the more risk of things going wrong.

On top of that, you are trusting a shop to do more things correctly, which is a huge mistake in itself. I've very rarely heard of shops actually completing installs of any significant kind correctly.

Now again, if you were doing it yourself (and you're mechanically inclined), I would say sure because you would have more of a tendency to put in the proper time and energy to making sure it's done right.

Here's what I've seen/heard most times with people installing turbos..

1 - Everything installed great from shop.. Car runs well! Except there 1 code and they were not able to troubleshoot it yet. Come back next week they said.

2 - 2 months go by and the code is still there. Car is running like crap. Your gas mileage is ****. air feed lines are popping off cuz they used cheap clamps / brackets.

3 - another month goes by... Blown engine.. You were ripping it down a straight away and pop.. Motor blew.. It was never properly tuned even though they claim it was.. Wide open throttle maps weren't right, overtime too much pressure on engine, detonation/etc/etc...

Not to mention turbo seals, bearings etc are gone cuz you bought the turbo off a used piece of **** or ebay.

Modify timelines as you see fit, but end result is the same with most.

I agree on the $500 kit.
But you don't need to spend 4'gs on a turbo to make 200-220 whp safely.
