^^^^Search and read from those two sites they provide alot of information

 

If you do not have the money for a proper setup, just save up and do it properly.

To clarify :
Turbo your motor, but either have a stock backup motor if this one blows, or have a built motor hanging out till this one blows. When it does blow, you will have little down time.
If you do not have the money to at least buy a backup motor right now... do not do it, because Murphy's law will leave you with a blown motor. If you get a backup motor... this one will last... That's just how it goes.
I am putting a turbo on my Maxima daily this year, after I get a backup motor.

well i do have the money to piece a turbo kit together, but im sayin i dont have 4500 to get an sr swap

 

that thread answered a bunch of questions but 1. even if my engine was running perfect would it matter about how high my mileage is? and 2.wth is a piggy back setup? (sorry dont know much about ecu's and crap

oh and thnks gonzo rep for u.

 

I think you didn't get my post. On top of doing a KA-T setup, buy a spare motor in case this one blows since you are staying with a stock motor.
You can do a budget setup like this... (these are still good quality parts)

Megan bottom mount manifold $200
S14 or S15 turbo $300-$400 used
Megan elbow and downpipe $120
Greddy or megan hotpipe w/ BOV $150
Front Mount ebay Kit $225
Oil lines $50
SR injectors $50
AFC + Tuning $300-$350 <- This is the piggyback.. it is what is used to tune your ECU

Typically when we do these setups, you get around 210-240 rwhp and they last quite a while. Get a backup motor just in case !!

This kinda gives you and idea for just parts.
