I would say the FRS would be the "expensive" car vs an E36, in both features/technology



Which kit is 40whp @7psi? The vortech kit has people hitting 250-270 depending on the tuner/map used. I would say an NA dyno would be in the 170-180whp range. Thats nearly a 90whp increase depending on the tune (dyno vs street/e-tune)

If you want a REALLY cheap turbo kit build, check out my build back in 2010

You pay for part quality when it comes to FI IMO.
That's a sweet build haha.
I see that with a tune the vortech gets a lot more. I just remember seeing something like 210 at the wheels which is 40 more than the ~170 stock usually gets.

I'll admit I haven't looked at the chargers for a few months, I've been sequestered in Basic Training and Tech school
