What ya think???
Is the exhaust needed?
How easy to fab up a similar intake for cheaper?

$1500 bucks for maybe what??
20 -25HP???
The tuner and a DIY intake might be under $500?
Not sure if the exhaust makes a huge diff or not??

Just slap a turbo on it

Just slap a turbo on it

Seems cheaper. If that's all I need.
But I don't think there's a bolt on kit?
The tuner is still needed right?

Anything else be needed with a turbo?
Would it require the exhaust?

Are you alloud to modify you exhaust in your state.. As in you don't have any emission control standards you have to worry about...

I have emissions testing,

But now concerned the 6F35 transmission might not take the torque.
I heard it sucks!
I should have gotten the 3.5L sports packed with upgraded transmission.

Since I had the Gokart, my car sees 6000 rpm a lot than it used to (which was never).

About to buy some Mercon lV fluid and give this a drain and fill
