oh and to another post you made before.. once i tune my car with kenny's help and break in my clutch, im throwing it on a dyno... and i will definintely post about that.. all in due time though

Werd.... If I can ever find an extra $75 I'll go dyno mine too... Then I might just have to buy a higher boost spring, retune and dyno it again...

I'll tell you what I know... Lead times are estimated at about a week or so as of right now.. Except for Nick..cause he's pushy and needed a clutch.. Now lead times can change depending on demand..So if demand is high in Dec. lead times maybe way longer than what they are now... Welcome to supply and demand my freinds..

1.Turbo kit- $3k, clutch- stage 3 clutch- $415, AEM A/F gauge- $290, Boost guage- $55, colder spark plugs- $15- 20.... these items will be a great start for a DD boosted box.. you can do a ton more things if you want to get more whp out of it..but Rome wasnt built in a day. ( note if you want to change the flywheel, best to do it while changing the clutch, so as not to have to pay double and get back in there twice.)

2. Yes you can using any exsiting exhaust and header on the car. ( recomend upgrading both, but not required)

3. As a low ball number on a manual I would say 160whp, but could be 180 whp....

4. Yes you will lose some fuel eff., because you will want to be in boost all the time showing off and that waist some gas. But even with me being in boost alot I still got better gas milage then my wife in her Pt. Cruiser.. If you stay in vaccum alot you MPG wont be bad at all, ZPI actually had there MPG go up...

Here's a question I don't think anyone has asked, how does your the ZPI turbo'd box idle? I know a lot of people with xBs and an intake, and they idle low sometimes. Does it run smooth at idle?

All depends on the tune.. pull some fuel out at idle and it will idel like nothing is done to it. .. If there is a little to much fuel at idle and could be a little shaky.. But that is why it is always recomended to get a tune locally, because conditions are different across the country.
