Thumbs up $6k+ what to buy?

Okay guys, I've been saving up money and have around 6k at the moment to play with. I need some help though! Do I finish up my supercharged k20? Or do I Jdm front the fit and get the t1r turbo kit? Any other suggestions are welcome.

t1r turbo, mfactory lsd, full exhaust, and what ever is left would go toward the jdm front end. that is what i would do with 6k.

i thought you are trying to sell your t1r bmax 52s.

you started the k-swap. end the k-swap. how much is left do you need to do to finish your k-swap?

$6000 is not enough to do a jdm conversion and t1r turbo. T1r turbo is about $3000 before shipping + retune, gauges, exhaust, oil cooler. most of the guys that have T1R turbo spend about almost $4000-4500.

i really think you should do what you really want to do

I tune my own vehicles. I know it isn't quite enough for the turbo kit and the jdm front just yet. As for the kswap. i still need mounts, axles, kpro, cams, and jr supercharger.
