how old r u?

$2300 is a lot, but it doesnt seem like as much to me now as when i was younger. just save ur money and look for deals.

also do your research and make sure u do it right the first time...

i have one turbo

do more research and when you get a good gasp on everything, you'll be able to piece together a good turbo kit with quality parts for under $2000

2300 sounds about right, that the range i thought sounds about right. Yes its alot of money, but thats how much they cost . its a big upgrade for your engine, but its worth it. pretty much work extra hours and save up your money. it takes a while to fix up your car. ive been fixing my car for 1 year . saving up for a turbo takes time if you dont have a well paying job.

I see turbos capable of 600+hp for around $1300.00

Put aside at least 5-6 grand for the turbo setup. That includes the turbo, intercooler, piping, getting the ecu chipped and tuned by a reputable tuner and any other extras that you would run into along the way, just can't think of them off the top of my head at the moment.

i dont have a turbo yet, im saving for a good engine then build then add the turbo but im planning and pricing things out and doing all my research to get the best parts and setting budgets
