Need opinions for c2 turbo - Mar 15, 2005 10:18pm
Alright, this will be long so bear with me.
I raced a guy with the c2 turbo stage 1 on a gts the other night and ran with him. We were side by side the whole way, which makes me think that the st1 may not be worth my while. So I was thinking the st2 kit which includes...
Turbo
Piping
Manifold
Hoses/Lines
h20 and oil lines/flange
BOV
Apexi intake
Larger Intercooler
all for $4200
Then to make it work right and work well I need from monkeywrech...
RPS clutch $307
MWR Flywheel $389
Wieseco 8.8 pistons $498
Crower Rods $748
Darton sleeves $339
Apexi AVCR BC $495
Gauges/Pod $200
Apexi PFC $995
550cc Injectors $114
Power Ent Fuel Pump $175
Copper Head Gasket $80
MWR Valves $319
MWR Springs $249
ARP Cyl Head Studs and Mains $240
Macine Shop Labor for block and head $700
And another 1-200 or so for other odds and ends.
All this equals in the ball park of 10k since I'm doing all the install myself.
Question is, is the price really worth all of power and work? Because I was not impressed by the stage 1 kit. I'm just looking for opinions and some of the parts above although not required, will make the kit run and perform WELL, if I'm going to do this I'm going to do it right. Thanks for the help.
