        You do it yourself. That's what everyone else has done.

          The easiest turbo is a remote mount where the turbo goes where the muffler usually sits. Any reasonably good muffler shop can help mount it. The hardest part is routing the oil lines and intake tubing back to the engine and then tuning it.

          As for superchargers, occasionally a z-spec/rsm vortech kit shows up on our buy/sell/trade section. I think the last one sold for $1900. Ever-so-rarely, one of the 18 magnacharger kits will show up too but they usually don't go for less than $3000.

            I forget his name but he drives a Z24 with a remote mount turbo and a 3400, usted to be a 2.8 remote mount, anywho, he used a self contained oil supply for the turbo using a high pressure pump and a resivoir for the oil return.

              ^^^ That is how I would do a RMT if I ever did one. I was wondering if anyone had tried that before. I don't trust my engines blood going all the way to the rear of the car and back again. I'd rather have just the turbo die if the electric pump gives out.

                  That build does not use a self contained oil system for the Turbo. That routes it back to the engine...

                          google it and you will find more and ask around on the forums and you will get peoples horror stories.

                          they like to take peoples money and never produce a product.

                          i know of one guy on bstuff.com that it took him over 9 months to get his stuff and this was only because he flew over here from finland and went directly to them to get it.
