I've read a lot about the stillen sc. but the whine of it is not what i like. and i'm not comfortable with NOS. I used to own a Lotus Elan. And i've grown attatched to the Turbo.

I'd say you'd have to custom fabricate it. We currently do not have any turbo kits avaliable. But it's evidently possible.

You'll end up spending at least $5000 on a custom kit.

Thanks, i think will have to wait for this kit. at the end of the month i will be attending the nissan track day here in honolulu. maybe i could get a look at a turbo'd max there. I'm also going to put my whale (the max) through it's pace's.
