      What is your concern, in order of importance, with turbo?

      So in doing the final preparations for this kit, what is your order of importance when buying a turbo kit? This will help me to decide if what I am designing is what you guys would really want, or if I need to tweak it.

      Please order your concern:
      * Functionality
      * Quality
      * Price
      * Cosmetics/Looks
      * Sound

      This being just with the turbo kit... also, if you want, just to get ideas for Stage 2 and Stage 3, what would you like to see in a turbo package, and what would you be willing to pay for this? Things like brands, components, etc.

      Let me know!

      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      1: Quality - Above all else, quality of parts, install, tuning, all critical.
      2: Functionality - This kind of goes hand and hand with looks, I want it to be efficient and provide power, safely and effectively.
      3: Looks - I'm going to go for a clean look, all tubing together (if I can do it), all bends natural flowing, clean.
      4: Sound - Doesn't matter much.
      5: Price - It is a concern, but only because of budgeting issues. Otherwise I don't care.

      More about the looks: When I go to that shop, I'm going to have them (while working on my turbo system), rewire the car. Rewire it as in get new wires, cables, tubes, ect. and bundle them up together to make it clean, efficient and look out of the way. Just because it's hard to clean as well as it looks just too messy, and cleaning it up will make it a better presentation when I show it off, you know?

      to be honest for everyone here...price should be near the very bottom for anyone trying this on a car that has no support should expect to pay a good chunk of change to get the ball rolling.

      Here is my list
      1. Quality
      2. Functionality
      3. Cosmetics/Looks
      4. Price
      5. Sound

      yeah, i've thought about and tossed the idea of turbo around my head for a bit. but i won't be heading in that direction for awhile. here is my order to add though:

      1 - Quality
      2 - Functionality
      3 - Price
      4 - Sound
      5 - Looks

      if i possesed more money, the sound would be above the price, but i'm on a tight budget as is.
