The shop is called Turbo Performance. Turbo Bob was the guy that I spoke to over the phone and he quoted me $650 for the install. That price is susceptible to change because of my gauges that I forgot to mention to him that I want installed as well. So I'm expecting anywhere between the $650 and $800 for a complete install.

i wanna try the milk before i buy the cow
ahaha...I like that little saying. Anyhow I still need to buy the turbo accessories before I actually follow through with the installation. I still need to buy a gauge pod, the gauges (Boost, EGT, and Oil Pressure), the eManage, and I like the idea of having a turbo timer. Once that is all said and done I will start to narrow down an installation date. The thing is though Christmas is around the corner and I had previously preordered a lip kit that is actually supposed to come in from Japan mid december so I still have to find time to drive to Ontario, CA to pick that part up, and pay for the other half of that and get it installed. However, I may wait on the installtion of my lip kit because I want the turbo installed before that goes on. This is one reason I bought the Treadstone kit, because you don't need to physically make any cuts in the OEM front bumper to fit the IC piping, which I need because i'm throwing a lip kit on my car.. So from the looks of it I'm guessing I will be installing my kit sometime in January....I know I know it's a month and half out from now, but I think thats my best option at this point with all these other expenses that need to come first, but who knows could be sooner than expected.

Not to mention you can now more easily send it off to get coated. Cast iron is nice and sturdy but it sho ain't pretty.
