Mate if u want power cheap doin a custom charger kit isnt the way to do it,

You beed custom parts making and if there bot right it wont work.

Good way is maybe looking for a small turboband making a mani to accommodate it

Check mu build thread mate all the info u need is in there, Ive researched custome chargers for a long while 2years in fact so theres not alot I dont know about them.

The rick bottom cheapest is a small turbo running low boost for a cradle ur looking at easily £400 charger £200 a pulley has to be made unless u can find someone selling a genuin one so thats another 100+ custom inlet and outlet and bypass valve or it wont work at all a black box for the ecu to run it all

Best option is buy a TTE supercharger kit for 2 Grand . Fit and run it. When you are done take it off and sell if for exactly 2 grand. You technically have the upgrade for free. That's the cheapest I know of.

The best option is to sell it and buy an IS300. The difference won't be more than a grand and that will get you up to 217hp with a much better all round car.
