For $2200 you can get a front cut which will be far more useful to you

I will give you free advice.
Search.... I wonder what could possibly be listed in the forced induction category. If you ask a specific question then it will be answered but if u ask the "I wanna Turbo my Astina" question with no effort on your part by even looking not to many people will waste their time on you.

I got a halfcut for 2k earlier on in the year, not inc. delivery.
However I have searched for another one for a friend recently, the price has gone up sharply it would seem, however I only tried perth yards. BP - BPT engine conversions have been done more then a few times on these forums, theres progress threads from a few and plenty of FAQ's to be found around. |

That is not a question. That is, as Mal said "Hey guyzzz I want to put da tubo in mah car. How does I do it".
Do youself a favour and search this section of the forums. There is HEAPS of information, if you get stuck and want to ask a SPECIFIC question feel free to but if you can not help yourself why should we help you?

i have seen halfcuts between 1.5 and 3k for gtx. in my opinion when u can get a halfcut for the same price it isn't worth it unless u cant find a halfcut and need the engine desperately

$2200 in not a good price, $13-1500 would be for only motor/turbo/ecu/piping/intercooler/etc
