Roxanne Gets Built

I have a 2007 LE5 that I would love to boost. I need some help with an exhaust manifold or a turbo kit! Any suggestions would be super duper helpful!!

I am hoping to put her on coils this summer new wheels and tires with a little bit of wheel poke.

I am hoping for about 400whp. If there is anything anyone could tell me please let me know!!

Any help is appreciated!

Lots of research


It doesn't just happen.


It will take time and money.


Im already 3k into mine


400whp is not an easy number


If you want easy and inexpensive with a good reliability


You should look at the zzp 2.2/2.4 turbo kit


It will get you started and only 2,200 dollars.


That's where you should start.


Post pictures of your car when you get a chance.


If your auto I don't know how much abuse they can take..

I am manual, I am going to go stage 2 or 3 clutch, I don't quite know yet. I know I am going to need some bottom end upgrades definitely. Unless you don't think so. It seems to be a very healthy engine. Except wiring is really bad since it is a salvage and the wiring just looks like someone threw it together.

I saw the 2.4 turbo kit. I'll look into it and see if I can afford it anytime soon. Definitely need to get some more hours in at work.

The engine bay definitely needs some cleaning.

How many miles? If it's high miles I would recommend doing a compression test before adding that much power. Sharp car though.
