Hey guys new to the sc scene and on a tight budget so i was looking at the turbo kit for sale at cxracing.com just wondering if this is going to be a wast of money. Any feedback or comments are appreciated thanks, Anthony

Ive ran their intercooler before on my other car, no problems. Not too sure on their turbo kit though, but I assume its gonna be just like any other cheaply made company.

i just looked and if ur talkin about the ~$900 kit for the sc300..ur missing a LOT of stuff to actually turbo your car..

take a look at clubna-t.com..xs power sells a complete kit for around 1800....you will probably still need misc. stuff but its far more complete then that "kit"

It's the exact same parts sold on ebay and through XS power. I just need to be totally honest with you on your budget- I won't ask you what it is but if it's lower than $5k in parts you will not be able to afford what you need. I don't mean $5k for some screaming kit, I mean a basic reliable good running turbo system and all of the associated parts. There's a lot to it. Start doing a lot of research man, and clubna-t is a great site for information on turbo the NA supra and SC. Good luck sir

Do not do it. If you are on that tight of a budget it would be best to withhold forced induction. Piping can be cheaply bought, and if you are running low boost then intercooler, couplers and clamps don't have to be top tier. Turbos, wastegates, manifolds, bypass valves...and basically everything significant should not be skimped on, though. You will end up with plenty more problems in the end if you do not get proven products.

Hell even unproven products really add up. Cost out all of the lines, gaskets, electronics, I mean every little thing you need, and it adds up so fast even with super cheap core parts

Yea, lines, gaskets, nuts, bolts, etc. are the worst part to account for when you are trying to get things together during crunch time.

If you put budget and turbo in the same sentence, just don't.

If you do go with that set up, dont plan to run much boost on their turbo. Most guys dont see over 6 or 7psi. Turbo will crap out rather quickly if you're looking for ~15psi.

I would just make your own kit. You save a ton of money by doing this.

Not worth it at all. For what you would have to put into it to finish you could do a 1JZ swap. Are you in West Palm Beach?
