your probably looking at around 5-7 grand . The motor is at least 3 to 5 depending on if it is new or used . Then you have to buy all the other equipment like ECU and Harness . Then maybe redoing the motor mounts to support the project then of course labor . I would say it would be a bit pricey .

Maybe

I look at NOS as upgrade just like any other performance mod . You get a open element ( Intake ) and it makes you faster . you get cams ...to make you faster .
just because it changes chemically doesnt mean its cheating. Most of NHRA uses NOS and they dont call it cheating. It is the cheapest most effective way to get the most HP for the money .

Best bang for the buck in a corrado would probably be a turbocharged vr6. Im sure there are other options though. There are numerous companies with kits out there.

License is cool. I got an attorney friend of mine whos going to get the ticket thrown out. The cop wrote it up wrong. So my license is cool. I should be getting the car Wed or Thur. Gene Perez is getting the work done quicker than I thought but theyre still giving me bull sh*t about some stuff. But Ive come to expect that from body shops. Theyve finished painting and buffing it its just reattaching the bumper and all the paper work now. Oh and Robb I still owe you a good drive in my GTI. But given my driving luck Ill just let you drive her to have fun.
