Boost or Buy Boosted?

Jayhovah

If the work was done by a reputable shop, it's hard to beat the price on someone else's build... Though I always wonder(worry?) why folks sink a bunch of time/cash into a build and then sell the car like 5 seconds after its finally finished. I love my TT Z so much you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

My suggestion:

Can you do the work yourself?
Then boost your Z - a lot of the investment is tied up in the labor costs and you will know the installation better than anyone.

Would you farm out a boosted build?
Buy a car that was built by a reputable shop and has documentation, and take some of that savings and have a reputable shop go through the install and tune with a fine toothed comb to make sure everything is in good shape.

We have seen a several failures in this department lately. This is especially a big problem if you try to go over 600hp. If you want that, take it to a qualified shop who has been recommended on here.

There are a number of times in life you can not afford to be cheap. Boosting a car is one. There are a number of supporting mods needed to do it right & reliably.
I would avoid buying a boosted car unless I knew the history / owner of said car & really knew what I was getting into. The last thing you want to do is blow a lot of $$$$$ on someone's nightmare as it will smoke any savings you had & then some to make it right.
