I know i need a new turbo... but what other mods?

[97_GSXTC]

The mechanic I took my ride to said my stock turbo had to be replaced because it was sucking up oil and the whole white smoke out the muffler thing. My question is I have no mods besides an A’pex cat-back; I’m low on funds, so I needed what were the least mods I would need to get a turbo upgrade? Nothing expensive, probably a used one actually. Thanx need advice quick cuz the cars at the shop right now.

A used 14b should go for 100 dollars. If you have extra cash, i would go for a 16g for 500-600 dollars depending on what kind.

You can put a T28 or 16G on your car with no mods, you just wont be able to use it to it's full potential.

you will also need a install kit if you go with a 14b or 16g. They can also be found on ebay. They are around $200 plus the cost of a used 14B at $100 - $150.

If you are really hard up for cash, you could always just get a used stock t25 with no mods required. they go for about $100 and then go for the larger Turbo when you have the money. I know the stock sucks, but at least you will be running for the time being.
