Should I turbo my m7?

I found a pump gas turbo set up. It's push turbo with fuel control box and everything I would need for 1,500. Does this seem like a good deal cause I'm not really sure.

Quick power for relatively cheap.

It's a friend of mine and he said it gave him more power than he needs.

That's true but I do know the kit is fine. I just can't decide if it's worth spending 1500 on a sled that I only paid 2200 for.

I think I'll try to talk him down more. And it does come with everything I need.

Make sure EVERYTHING is there.
Also, you may want to completely rebuild your motor.
Replace all the bearings and such.
A turbo will put extra stress on everything.
Make sure you don't have to shim the head and that stock pistons will work.

If it's complete, 1500 is a steal.
You could resell it for 2500 easy if you were willing to sit on it for a while.

I just don't have the money to rebuild my motor if i turbo it and I know I should if I turbo it. But maybe I'll wait and save up and see if it's still there later.

I just had the chance to buy a Push turbo for a M8. It has never been installed and the guy only wanted $2000. He picked up 2 kits at the same time to do both of his sleds. Did the one and wasn't thrilled with it- so he was just going to sell the other. He said that the kit seemed to be good quality- but he could never get it dialed in and Push would never call him back.

Also, I don't know what kit it is..... but I highly doubt it cost anywhere close to $6000 (it could... but a few yrs ago their kit was selling for $3800 for a pump gas)

Around here there is starting to be a turbo revolt.... Some people are addicted and will never get rid of their turbos...... but lots are just getting tired of the hassle and going back to stock. Also- I would doubt that there is a huge market for M7 turbos.
