Default A couple pics of my DIY setup

Here's my audi 5000 core with custom end tanks. It looks small but the core is over 3" thick! I still need to paint my charge pipes flat black, color cordinate my plug wires and a new turbo and mani are on the way.

Keep the mismatched plug wires... it gives your engine bay that little something extra it needs to look fabulous.

haha, I'm doing the dump tube this weekend. I melted the plasma cutter tip last weekend doing a flange for my bud and never got that done. Damn thing melted my bumper foam thingy

Part list:

$125 us - Brand new T3 cartridge (mjm turbo )
$150 cdn - Previous used turbo that lasted 1 hour.
$100 cdn - Deltagate (used)
$10 cdn - Bosch bov
$300 cdn - mandrel u bends and flex peice for dp
$360 cdn - S-AFC (used)
$275 cdn - MSD BTM (new)
$30 us - Greddy T-Timer (used)
$250 cdn - Misc. Hardware
$100 cdn - Rubber Hose Connectors for charge pipes
$100 cdn - Earls SS oil feed lines
$20 cdn - DSM injectors
$41 us - Audi 5k Intercooler
$50 cdn - K & N Filter
------------------------------------- TOTAL
$1500 cdn wow, I guess I over estimated! Sweet!

I sure I'm missing stuff. OH + my time fabing manifold, intercooler and charge pipes $ Priceless

why isnt the vaccum line on the deltagate hooked up to the compressor of the turbo? How do you have yours hooked up?
Nope. I wanted mine off the brake booster.
