Also, asking questions in the proper sub forum helps a lot. Turboxs despite the name does not make a turbo kit for this car. Read and search a lot, then search and read, you can't do too much reading.

If your car is a 40th AE, then it isn't an 09. Big difference

You don't want any bad comments.

You could at least tell us in your first post what type of transmission you have what kind of power you want to make.
This all matters with the required supporting mods.

Just doing this would reduce your newbtardedness

We can't all read minds you know. More information is key.

I thought the 40th was made in 2008?

well - it's unlikely you will be happy then . That sort of power has never been made on an AT8

Tofu Box made about 280whp with his SC setup and his transmission gave up pretty quickly after . Maybe PM him and find out what he did about it ...

7k are barely a starting point in a turbo project. If that's your budget then don't even think about it.

That's basically a greddy turbo kit at the usual insanely high japanese price.
