Helping me save enough money for my "realistic dream car"; either a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 or an Evo 6! Cool

At the current moment I'm saving for a Cold-air-induction system and a new duel-Catback exhaust system. I figure putting them both on at the same time will give me about 45hp Smile

45hp? just off of intake and exhaust.. maybe in your wildest dreams, ex.

Then you don't know cars too well if you don't think 45hp is obtainable from what I'm doing. Specially since I'm going with a duel-catback system fullout. Intakes, manifolds, pipes, etc. That along with the cold air intake. The CAI itself is only like 6hp (rounded up), but the exhaust is what will kick me up. Go look up any performance exhaust company like Borla, flowmaster, catback, etc and you'll see what it'll do.

ROFL!!!! Thats hilarious!!! LMFAOROTF!!!

Dude, seriously, just stop.

I'll find the link for you. There is a turbo kit which on a stock Cavalier, puts the hp from 140 to 230hp, and torque from 150 to 237. Kit includes everything (intercooler, pipes, turbo, etc) and runs about $2300.

The $2300 is for getting the car turboed...

If I would've had the money, I would've went for a WRX. Those are badass cars.

OOOOO, lol. Nah, thats for the whole turbo kit. I have friends that can install it as well. Their qualified and what not. So that'll save me on time and install prices at a place. Just coming up with the $2300 is what is the killer, lol
