    If you're looking for body kits like are sold for the Tuner cars, you're out of luck unless you can find a contact in Brazil :)

    If you are going to Turbo a 250...better have some deep pockets. I don't see this mod being done on a "budget".

    You can do a cheap kit for under a grand.

    But it probably wont be reliable. If I were doing a turbo build on a six I would go all in. As in building the engine and swapping out the head.

    You can still do an "all out" build under a budget. But around 3 grand.

    If you choose the cheap one I'd go with a T3/T4, or a big T3.

    It should be fun/easy to get 220RWHP and give V8s a run for their money.

    As for the full build a nice full sized T4(62-70mm) should get you 300-500HP.

    But Forced induction is way different than NA application. I suggest you check out this forum and see how much work it takes to build a turbo car.
