Since there are so many options out there, it’s hard to say exactly how much a turbo would cost, but you’ll likely need to put aside a decent chunk of cash. Installing a turbocharger can cost anywhere from $400 to over $5,000, depending on a number of factors.
Installing a turbocharger yourself could help cut costs since you’ll only have to pay for the turbocharger and other related parts themselves, but it’s important to have the technical know-how to do so.
A professional turbocharger installation could cost several thousand dollars.
Just like with any major vehicle modification, before deciding whether to install a turbocharger and what kind, it’s important to consider what kind of impact it might have on your car. Choosing the wrong kind of turbocharger or an improper installation could end up causing expensive damage to your engine or other vehicle components.
