Well I'm sure you could get a custom kit for $2k but don't forget to allocate 8K for the new engine when you blow your current one.

Turbo is not for the faint of heart. Cheap in the short run WILL be expensive in the long run. Spend the money to do it right or don't do it. You will regret it.
Very very sage advise.

If you could get 1psi from the Turbonator it would be the best NA mod available. Unfortunately all it is is another restriction.

Pressure is frequently express as 'above ambient' but in this case it's more of an 'increase of'.

And IMO your best investment with any turbo kit is getting the AEM EMS and lots of tuning.

I guess it technicaly isn't although it's a moot point as you won't get any pressure increase (or even vacuum reduction) with junk like the turbonator. Unless of course you also install ground wires.
