Turboing my 98 5S-FE?

Hey guys, I'm in class right now so if I don't reply quickly, that's why.
But anyway, I am seriously thinking about putting a T3/t4 hybrid turbo on my 98 5s-fe.
The guide said the 5s is one of the easier engines to turbo.
But I had some questions;
*how much will the whole installation cost me altogether?*
*can I do it all myself or do I need to take it somewhere?
*and do you have any experience with this topic? Any friends that have done it? You done it yourself? Etc...

Thanks for the input friends!

Also, is there anything you think I need to know about it?

Thanks again!!*

How to Turbo the Camry - 5s-fTe tips and information
Updated "how to turbo your 5sfe camry" info

the set up canbe really cheap or really expensive. it depends on your skill. so the cost can be $500 and up.

get a 3sgte motor and go from there. it's made for a turbo and will be more reliable.

i turbo'd my 92 for less than 300, but the motor was crap, so it spun a bearing.


read everything from the first thread i posted

Turboing the 5sfe is easy, but tuning it is the hard part if you dont know or have a shop near you. also alot of customizing parts.
