I would keep saving up. Your not going to get into a turbo kit for that kinda money... Not to mention the other upgrades you will need in order to run it with reliability... Fuel, trans, rear, tuning.. It will add up to well over 4k, thats on the low side, thats just turbo parts... Going fast isn't cheap.. Take your time and do some searching on here.. You can find STS kits for cheaper then the front mounts.. Good luck BTW it is VORTEC not vortex..

What are your goals matt? If we know what your working with we can figure out what your gonna need in addition to the turbo kit.

By the time it is said and done after getting a turbo, wastegate, blow off, hot parts, charge pipes, intercooler, boost controller, gauges, fuel pump, injectors, couplers and clamps, mod your exhaust or get new one, and the multiple other things that go with doing this you will more than likely have around 7k in the kit if not more. You start adding in methanol and other supporting mods then you will likely go higer than that. Just buy one part at a time......save up for the hot parts, then turbo, then wastegate..........etc.............And take my advise dont buy cheap **** just to get it going. Buy good stuff the first time and cry once.
