turbo isnt a bolt on because it didnt come from the facotry turbo. the MEVI (Middle Eastern variable intake) came from the factory on Maximas, hence why its a bolt on.
If you have to ask why turbos arent a bolt on for our cars you have a lot more reading to do.

did the mevi come on my maxima or yours, no it did not. so how is it a bolt on? your not replacing a mevi that was already there with one that is more effective. i.e y-pipe.
and why put a mevi on, its good for how much hp na? somewhere around 5? if you had a turbo it would be more.

a bolt on is a part that does not need fabrication of any additional part in order to get it to work. Just because in the US it didnt come factory on the cars doesnt mean its not a bolt on.
hence bolt on. . . you just bolt it on. . with bolts and done, no fabrication.

If it came on my maxima, or YOURS... WHY would we be trying to put on something thats already there?
How is it not a bolt on? You remove your IM, and bolt on the MEVI? Theres no fabrication to be done like teh 00VI and or a TURBO kit.

You're right, it ISNT necessary, your car will run without it.. is a turbo necessary? or do you live your life a 1/4 mi at a time?

Hot damn I need to do my 00VI

And then what? How could you advise to get a "turbo", when you know nothing about the mevi or turbos? Blind leading the blinder

Ray Charles leading Stevie Wonder into an intersection ...
A cat-less y-pipe didn't come on your car either, but you still consider it a bolt on?
Let's see, some of us don't have the $$ for a turbo, so we do what we can N/A ... and still gain ~40whp @ stock fuel cut
