Default FI people on a budget. where do you get your parts?

i'm pretty sure majority of you guys want the best products for the best price. my question to you guys is where do you get your parts? ex: if you needed a boost gauge, where would you look to get the best price for it? ex:2 decieded to up the boost, where to get fuel injectors and mbc? ex:3 clutches? ive made majority of my purchases on ebay and some on h-t classifieds but that takes time but worth it =op any website or forum that sells stuff cheap would be greatly appreciated

I got almost all my stuff on

homemadeturbo
ebay
here

I try to buy quality stuff but at the same time find a good deal. I think what some of these companies charge is ridiculous. I dont think I hae broken 1K yet and I havent bought anything cheap

Ebay is ALWAYS the cheapest. You just have to be a pro at it like me. My last few scores:

-Skunk2 retainers - $100
-Skunk2 springs - $100
-Crower rods - $200
-ST front and rear sway bars (used) - $100

My car/setup was built from parts here in the HT classifeds/FI classifieds. I have always had the best deals come from here. I also prefer used parts which some may not. To all there own.

I love buying used parts. You can get them for a good price on ebay, and if you ever need to sell them, you can actually turn a profit.

People say a car isn't an investment but I could sell off all my aftermarket parts and probaly come out about $1000 on top.


Oh yeah, I forgot about my ebay gauges - new in box boost gauge for $20 and new in box electric fuel press gauge for $100 shipped. And you can't beat the AEM FPR I got for $50.

all my turbo parts came:

H-T classifieds
H-T sponsors
ebay
HMT classifieds

i pieced together my kit with name brands such as turbonetics, tial, greddy, etc. all for $1600 for brand new parts.

just take your time looking for parts and research your **** before you buy it.
