[QUOTE="FVel, post: 2889376, member: 48425"] Yes, Jin is right. I think all of us at one time or another have decided to go for force induction or planning to do it but as he said, there is no such thing as a plug and play turbo. I The turbo unit itself can be deceptively cheap relative to the overall costs, but where most people forget are the other costs that will be required to prep the car for turbo. If yours is a typical NA car chances are the internals had not been beefed up for turbo power, so it is almost inevitable you will need to replace the internals with stronger components to withstand the added stress. Besides all the stuff Jin mentioned, you will also have to spend a bit on the other incidentals eg., boost controllers, higher capacity fuel injectors and pump, lower compression etc. If you put in more power, you also need to take care of safety with better brakes and a more capable suspension. In many cases you will also need to reinforce the chassis. The costs will be significantly more than just the turbo unit itself. And obviously fuel consumption will be higher than a stock NA unit.
