If your here only to troll and not help, please dont comment.

obviously Im going to do my research on what kind of turbo it has before I buy.

All im trying to find out is people who might want to sell their car but have not posted it on the classifieds

Here's my issue with your post. You jump into saying you want a boosted FRS. But you failed to do any basic research on the parts that go into them, if you had you wouldn't have linked an fa20club one. Do your research on the different kits and what they offer and their issues, then look at supporting mods that have been done. Hell I'll sell you my car for 35k but you'd have no idea how to drive it lol.

^This! and honestly if I were in your position I would try finding a good condition used stock fr-s and choose whatever kit you want and install it on that. That way there is much less of a chance of someone beating the car to hell and back with FI for 50,000 miles. Not to mention you get to choose whichever kit you like and have it tuned by whichever tuner you prefer.

haha very funny still trolling i see,

You act like im going to buy the first turbo charged frs that is offered.

Im going to look at the build they put into the car not just the turbo kit.

Thats why I am in the FT86club forums to see their "builds" but you obviously assume you know everything.

That is true, and I would like to do that, but a Stock FRS can cost about 17k-21k without a turbo

getting a turbo kit and having it installed could cost me upto 10k
plus fuel injectors clutch kit oil cooler and other add ons can add to the cost.

So im just looking for a reputable car with a decent reliable turbo kit at a reasonable price.

If you haven't already, you should try making a post in the regional section. I also think your price range is on the low side but good luck anyway.

I don't think he meant he wanted that kit specifically. He said "build" so I'm assuming he meant any car with a turbo kit and supporting mods in that price range.

Here you go:

The regions are pretty large if you aren't on the east or west coasts, but hopefully this helps anyway.

People here are pretty quick to yell troll or search on this forum since we get a lot of the same questions, so don't take it personally. I'd also consider this forum to be better organized and more resourceful than most, but maybe I'm just so used to it.

Personally, I think the car in you posted in OP is a good buy.

There is nothing troll about that post in anyway. I was offering you advice on what to do and explaining where you went wrong. I've been in the boosted game longer than most people and have seen what works and what doesn't, and fa20club doesn't work. But by all means call me a troll again, tell me I think I know everything. I'll remember that when you come asking for help with your newly acquired boosted FRS.
