With a new job comes turbo.

Just got a new job today that will be making me bank. What I would like from everyone who has put some PSi into their cars is to comment on what will be needed to make a decent budget build-up

For the record, I am planning on getting the LAN stage 2 version 6 package first, but everything from there is where wisdom of the people who have boosted before me will come to play.

For now, the only requirements are that the car stay Auto and on the stock gearing. I am also going to be piecing everything together both in and out of the car, so that when the time comes, all I will have to do is bolt it in. I am attempting a zero downtime buildup. Downtime meaning, still driven on the weekends.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Couple of hours. Or if you've taken it off and but it on 50 times about an hour. However I wouldnt run the car for at least overnight. You have to use sealent on the manifold and throttle body adapter to seal it. If you try to run the car before the sealent is completly dry, the pressure will leak out between the S/C and manifold. That was on of the biggest problems I ran into.

The stage 3 is no joke... Took me the equivelant of a whole day to get everything setup. With instructions it should take a novice about the same amount of time

I took everything to perfection in my setup and total time off the road was about a month and a half, working many many late nights.

I am willing to sell my car at this point fyi.
