It is possible to cut some corners, but it still won't be cheap at all.
Engine can hold 600ish for a while, provided it's adequately tuned and will not be overheated (read over-abused).
Ballpark parts prices:
- turbos 3k
- fueling 1.5k
- intercoolers 1.5k
- exhaust 1.5k
- various little bits and pieces - easily 1-2k on top.
- optionally MT conversion, can easily run 5k+ on its own.
Then you add repairs/maintenance pieces, labor, tune, etc - and it sums up nicely to 20+.
Wow is this audi pricing?Originally Posted by nubcake
Intercooler pretty sure I can cut that cost to $350 on a front mount style
exhaust $400 straight through mandrel bends from downpipe back or 250 for cutout
what do you count as various parts? Maintenance parts should not be counted. 1-2k is a big range to budget for misc
I havent looked at fueling but tons of new pump that range in the 120-200 that will flow 600+
injectors = this will probably be the most expensive maybe 600-1k
intake = 150, it amazes me that people pay 700+ for al piping and a filter...
turbo will be dependent on what I can make work.hmm hoping I can get this down to 600-700 range.
Im thinking stock exhaust manifold will flow the 600awhp.
Ive been doing some more reading and looks like the major concern is space for the turbo.
A manual swap will take care of the auto trans limitation and free up space.
Tried the google search thing. Had better luck but still not able to find information like details on what people are using. Ill keep digging
I should probably add that I build my own stuff and fab my own parts
