“These guys are awesome! My STi feels like a completely different car after they replaced the turbo and tuned it.”
You want real power, and at 4,700 feet a turbo is the best way to get it. But a turbo is never just a turbo. The fuel, clutch, and tune all have to keep up.
Turbo Lab does turbo kit installation in Orem the whole way through: plan, install, tune, and prove it on our AWD Dynojet.
When you need turbo kit installation
At Orem's 4,700 feet, an engine without boost loses about 14% of its sea-level power.
A turbo packs more air into the engine, so it wins back that loss and then some. It's the right upgrade when you want a big jump in power, not a small one. It also has to work harder up here than at sea level, so the turbo size and the tune both have to match our altitude.
Our turbo kit installation process
For popular cars, a complete kit is made to fit and is usually the best value. When there's no kit for your car, or your goal is past what a kit can do, we build the system: manifold, downpipe, intercooler piping, and oil lines, welded in our own shop.
More air needs more fuel, and more power needs parts that can hold it. We look at all of it before we quote:
- Fuel injectors and pump
- Clutch, for the new torque
- Intercooler, radiator, and oil cooling
- Oil feed and return lines
- Engine internals, if the boost goal calls for it
- Brakes and tires, because faster means stopping faster
Turbo kit installation cost in Orem
The price depends on the car, the kit or custom parts, and what else has to change. A bolt-on kit on a car built for boost costs far less than a custom system on a car that wasn't. You get a written, itemized quote first, with the tune included, and no work starts until you say yes.
One shop for the install and the tune
We install and tune in the same building, so no one points fingers if something isn't right. Every turbo car gets a custom tune on our AWD Dynojet, not a map from the internet. We've been building boosted cars on Center Street since 1999. We also handle dyno tuning for cars that already have a turbo.

Turbo kit installation questions
How much boost can my engine take?
It depends on the engine, its internal parts, and the fuel. Stock engines vary a lot. We set a boost goal after the baseline pull and tell you where the safe line is.
How long does a turbo install take?
It depends on the kit and the car. A bolt-on kit goes faster than a custom system we build here. You get a timeline with the written quote.
Can you install a turbo kit I already bought?
Yes. We check that the kit is complete before we start, and our shop rate is $175 an hour. Our warranty doesn't cover work done with parts you bring.
Turbo or supercharger?
A turbo usually makes more peak power for the money and wins back more of the power lost to altitude. A supercharger gives instant response and smooth power. We help you pick based on how you drive.
Will a turbo kit pass emissions in Utah County?
Some kits carry a CARB Executive Order number, which shows they meet emissions rules. Ask us about a specific kit before you buy it.
Thinking about boost?
Call and tell us what you drive. We'll tell you what a turbo build takes on your car, and what it costs, before you buy a single part.
