n/a vs. tt

Ok guys Im about to get a 300zx. I have six grand so I have a decent budget considering it will be my first car. I want a TT but I want to start out with a clean car with LOW MILES because I plan on dumping quite a bit into it and TTs are on average a good bit more than a n/a. So my question is if I were to buy a stock n/a would any motor work etc. have to be done to put a small but upgraded aftermarket turbo on my car? And if so what. Open to all opinions and advice!

Before Zlover knocks this one outta the ball park... lemme put it in simple terms:

If you want a TT, make life easy for yourself and buy a TT.

I see how it is.. Zlover gets to be the only home run hitter around here... FINE! lol

to the OP.... think about what you typed... you do know what TT stands for correct.... then you said small upgraded aftermarket TURBO... being singular.... yes it can be done, but it's probably the biggest hassle in the world... Welcome to the forums.. This topic has been covered quite a few times here, i recommend searching some and you will get a lot more answers.

You cannot boost the VG30DE to more than about 6psi (i.e. any boost worth the effort) without blowing it apart. Get a TT, as they said.

Searching would've answered this, by the way... it's been discussed multiple times in the past.
