Some Advice On Mods.

Just need some advice on whats the best set up for FI and other mods. My budget is about 10k-12k. Right now my car is completely stock. Also if anyone has any deals on parts i'm willing to cough up cash. Thanks!

Where are you located? You can get a JWT TT install + tune + exhaust for a little less than 11k. If you're located in socal PM wa2good he can hook you up with a great deal.

He gave me a killer quote on a JWT TT install and tune. Now it's just a matter of getting the funds together...although I should be good to go by my August at the earliest...October at the latest.

IS the G your daily driver or weekend car.. Superchargers would probably be safer as in terms of mechanical issues for a daily driver.

^^ not necessarily the case. Lots of different factors come into play, most importantly driving style. A properly tuned and installed turbo can be just as reliable as a supercharger. There are lots of members who have put tons of miles on their turbos without problems.

Highly doubt a TT or ST will be as safe and reliable as an SC if both were tuned properly.

Turbo definately has the upper hand in potential though.

Either way, FI itself isnt "safe" to start with. Even if you drive it normally.

I have dealt with severall clients that were too busy to get off of work and bring their cars to me. In fact, most of the clients I have built cars for are from out of state. PM me, and we can figure out something suitable for you and your car within your budget. I can even help you in getting your car out to me if you need me to.
