Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance XS Turbo Kit ?

Hey guys I might be considering on turbocharging my GTS
But I was just curious on how much a professional install would cost from
a shop ?

thanks

between 500-1000 (roughly), depending on experience

there are members from So.Cal who could do it for you at a good price also

I would also NOT buy a XS turbo kit. they are junk.

the only good kits out right now are the SF kit and The C2gas kit.

the SF kit will have a longer delay before shipping then the C2gas kit. But both are great ways to go.

go with C2 i wouldnt buy a sf turbo if it was the only turbo kit out there
SF is a good guy trying to do his best but you will not get your turbo for 6 7 months

plus the xs turbo kit hasnt been in stock for like a year

they'll charge you an arm and a leg. do it yourself.

not anyone can install a turbokit themselfs

expecially a celica turbo, you either have to pull the engine or drop the front axle

i used to think i wanted xs turbo but after finding out about the c2 power turbo i quickly changed my mind i will hopefully be getting the c2 soon

there's nothing wrong with the kit itself. just takes sometime to get the kits shipped.

If you get a turbo, keep me updated, because I'd love one in my car. I'm just affraid of destroying the engine with having too much boost.
I mean, damn, why does it have to cost like $5000 to upgrade a stock Celica engine to take a 9psi boost from a $5000 turbo? (I'm just throwing numbers out there.) That's a ton of money for like 60 more hp.
