Default Turbo

Hey Guys,

Anyone know how much turbo kits sell for the gs?
Would the car as is (which mods in sig) be able to handle turbo?

I really like the sound turbo gives in addition to the power

Thanks

Thanks. 6 to 7k for parts and couple more for install... maybe I should just save up alittle more and buy something with turbo in it like a supra

Even though I mod like crazy the GS with turbo it probably wont stand a chance againt something like a supra.

if you put the same money in mods into a gs3 and a supra the supra will be much faster i think. but than again we have so many turbo supras, how many turo gs3's do we have? That alone makes me do it to a gs3 than go and getting a supra to do it to.

Shocks/Springs, exhaust and already thinking about a turbo, huh? If you want to beat a Supra, that's one thing but wouldn't you like to have for yourself something comparable but with Lexus luxury, in terms of the interior?

Let me get this strait. You want to spend 5k on a turbo just cause you like the sounds it makes?

Save your self 4900.00 and buy this...

Yep, the Supra would defiantly be faster for more than 2-3 times as much as the turbo.
