I want a 12 sec Turbo II

What will it take, both parts and money wise to get a Turbo II into the 12 sec range. I'm in Denver so we are about a full second slower here than at sea level.

You might be able to do it with a stock turbo, but im not sure.

If you want to do it cheap, then get a TO4E or TO4B (with a .96 hotside) and get a street port. They spool quite quickly from what I've heard and they are, cheap, reliable and a cheap to service.

I'm pretty sure those turbos can make close to or around 400RWHP @ 15psi w/ pump gas. And 400RWHP is more than enough to run 12's.

But ofcourse, you'll need lots of other stuff. Bigger injectors, some sort of engine management system, intercooler, blow-off valve, wastegate, etc etc.

The cost. I'm not sure, probably under $4000. I'm not sure. Just making a rough estimate.
