IMHO - hold on to your $$. 80,000 miles and single turbo is a bad idea if your going to spend all of your money on the turbo itself. Is your car stock? If not what are your mods? If it's stock, I would just slap some reliability mods on there, get an ecu and max out the stock turbos.

Rebuilding your stock turbos is basically throwing your money away. They will leak.

I would look into the BNR turbos. I love mine. You can see my 12 psi dyno results in the dyno section. Falls well within your price range, so it allows you to get the fuel mods as well. www.BNRSupercars.com

You could nuy a kit for less then that.Right now there's a group buy going on for single turbo kits.You already have a pfc so that's one less expense but you will need bigger secondary injectors, fpr, fmic, fuel pump, im sure i'm missing a couple of other things.Check out www.kgparts.com they have good prices on upgraded fuel kits.

If I were you I'd contact Lt1-7 that's his screenname on here, and on aim his sn is phamspeed, his kits are sweet as hell and have awesome prices. You have a pfc, so get a used intercooler and 850's in your primaries and 1300cc injectors in your secondaries and i think you could call it a day?
