My budget is actually around RM10K. I thought it should be cheaper since I got the 4B11 engine. Only the labor cost of swapping incurred. I don't think I'd go for turbo. Dunno how to maintain.Don't give up so easily. First things first, set a budget and then talk to an expert with a shop that'd be willing to do the mods for you and see if your budget matches his price. If it doesn't then save up until you do have enough. Then take a deep dive and join the dark side..... and whack that Mark X next time you see it.
Incidentally I think prices would be 15k-20k for a hardcore full-on turbo setup (pistons, conrods, ecu, turbo, workmanship, exhaust, tuning). But there are ways to get this much lower in price.
Mark X should be out of question here unless my car can hit 250km/h mark. Lol..
