    Just like the previous reply, it might be fun short term but think long term, your pocket book with be shelling out $$$ down the road, I would invest in other mods. Just my 2 cents...

    if you are doing it because you want a fun project and a unique truck then have at it.

    If you are doing it because you actually want more power in a truck, sell your truck and buy one with a larger engine. It will probably save you money and headache down the road. Plus you will get hosed if you ever try to sell your 4cyl with a turbo on it.

    My thoughts exactly..just sell and get a V6..much less headache than trying to mod out a 4cyl.

    Yes install it. Dont listen to these guys, all you have to do is duct tape it to the exhaust manifold and done. Instant 400 RWHP.

    Never seen this version. But I like it!:D

    Id say turbo it if you want to build it and can't see yourself buying a new truck.

    I have a 4 cylinder and also want a lot more power. However I am going to be keeping my engine bone stock because making a 4 banner truck fast would cost to much and wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. When your racing the v6 tacos and you loose just tell them your mpgs!
