Re: d16y8 turbo build
deffinately getting a complete brand new one saves you the hasssle of trying to look for the parts.
you mite spend a little less if u are piecing, but you will probably get used parts or worst, defected parts with no warrantee.....

Re: d16y8 turbo build
yea that it very true. ive also heard of people buying ebay kits and just buying better turbos and plumbing kits. ive been looking around for both ways. saving up during winter

Re: d16y8 turbo build
yea thats another way around, im personally running a ebay intercooler, charge pipes and blow off valve, it seems to do the job just fine, but manifold is a custom built ramhorm with good thick SS material, turbo is garrett and wastegate is tial. i end up spending about 1700 on the complete kit including cutting & welding labor.

Re: d16y8 turbo build
nice. i really like those manifolds. theyre sick. i was just looking at ebay kits. ive been trying to find sites that just sell turbos and not kits. I'm gonna call around to companies and check them out. i found a site for all the hardware and plumbing. if you have any recomended sites or anything please let me know if you dont mind
