Haltech Platinum Interceptor = RRP $699
Aza/Dwayne got theirs for $620 ea.
You can shout out loud GTFO to the shop who quoted you $2300 for install and tune.
Aza/Dwayne got theirs installed and tuned for another $700.
They should be able to answer your question soon. Pulse Racing?

The whole Mivec system was specifically designed to give more power on Naturally Aspirated engines - not turbos.
All the f**king around you'll run into trying to set mivec kick in points vs spool up & tuning it all together
will be a nightmare. Plus, if you went non mivec, you could theorectically use 6A13 cams - a profile designed
for turbo. In fact, all these 6A13 bits your using, may as well buy the whole damn 6A13 engine!
You actually reckon this is the way to go? Grab a GR engine?

clear debt -> savings -> moved-out/rental -> graduate/1st job -> house mortgage -> marriage -> babies -> ?
Are you heading there?
Or, clear debt -> turbo fto -> higher psi -> engine blown -> restart whole process with another car.
