I'd say that'd be a good place to go for your turbo then!

Doesn't Vortech and prochargers make superchargers only? Also I'm not aware of AM selling turbos but its been a while since I've looked.

Machinists make 27+ an hr? I think my dad only made about 22/hr and that was with 15+ years of experience. Granted, that was a few years ago( he's retired now)

As for the nitrous, a 75 shot should be good

You can work night shifts to gain more an hour, South louisiana pays well to machinist due to the oilfield.
