MrTea is the only one do ever do it and he lost a lot of functionality in his car. Pretty simple answer and it's no it's not worth it. Trade your car back in for a 5SPD one.

If you're serious about a turbo kit (they cost $4K and another $2k for installation, gauges and tune) there are two companies that make a kit. Hi-Boost and F2 (although not yet released)

yes, possible, no not worth the swap.

turbo, wait until the end of the year

What's happening at the end of the year?

MrTea · 08-21-2008, 11:32 PM

...christmas, new years....usual stuff i think

Spidy · 08-22-2008, 04:32 AM

Probably Mr. Tea is selling is 6 by the end of the year... otherwise, Christmas, boxing day sales, new years, end of the world... usual stuff...

MrTea · 08-22-2008, 10:23 AM

nah, i doubt i could give my car away at this point.

if you do a search on this topic, do some reading, then you'll see why i say wait to the end of the year. i post the same stuff all the time, shouldn't be too hard to find?

I wanted a turbo for my 6 for the longest time but I found a cheaper way I put my girl on that south beach diet, she lost 50lbs and I noticed a gain.

Hey guys,

I have been trying to get in contact with HiBoost but their toll free number is not working, the fax machine appears to be disconnected and no replies to email.

Does anyone have any new contact information for them? Did they relocate?
