I'm just about to do this... I'm currently buying bits and pieces.

I set myself a budget of around $2000... worked out out as follows:

Turbo: $300 --stock GTST one... ended up paying a little more at $350

Exhaust manifold: $100 --again, stock GTST one... $100 on the dot

Intake manifold + GTST injectors: $200 --ditto... ended up at about $250 with shipping

eManage & Looms: $500 --needed to get things working right on the NA ECU... eBay $170 shipped!

FMIC: $300 --eBay again my friend... $200 shipped

Various Piping (cooler, front/dump, etc): $200 --yet to get these...we'll see!

Mechanical boost gauge: $50 --still looking for one I like that doesn't go up to like 30PSI... boosting at 7PSI looks pretty weak on that scale!

Tuning & Dyno: $400 --obviously not yet!

So my estimate comes out to just over $2000, that's with me doing all the labour. So far I've found everything on eBay and the forums here. In reality I think it will be slightly cheaper than my initial estimate, as I've made some savings here and there (i.e. the eManage and FMIC), but who knows what else lies aroudn the corner...

As it's a high-compression NA engine with a turbo on it, boost is likely to be limited to 6-8PSI, but that should be enough for me (for now!).

It's certainly not "converting it into a GTST"... (maybe a GTS+T?), but should make it much more fun to drive and put out some decent power.

Just my 2 cents!
