For example lets say you can't afford said $5k turbo system, so you peice together your own barely being able to afford it. Then by chance it makes it through the Dyno session and alls good. Then one day you get a bad tank of gas and melt a piston or your racing at the track and shear off 4th gear. What do you do now? You could barely afford to put together the kit and tune, now your broke and making a car payment... Ill let you know from seeing others, the car gets parked and sits. But if you can afford a turbo system and have money you can just fix it. See what I'm getting at?
A aftermarket turbo car is a luxury, not a necessity. If you can't afford the luxury and upkeep that goes with it, then don't do it till you can. Trust me, having a turbo car is great, but when stuff breaks (cause it will), nothing is worse then getting stuck with a pile of money that you can't go race.

I have a EVO sitting here that is exactly the result of what you just said. 14K loan , car blows up, car sits till loan is paid down to 10K, customer takes out additional 5K to build engine and get car back together, budget was spent on stupid shit and not all of it made it to me, car still sitting a year and half later with a built motor but no funds to finish. results a sad owner and a Evo that is rusting away outside.
