I should be getting my turbo and BOV on monday! Next I only need my FPR, downpipe, and charge piping. I should be really starting my backyard turbo in a week or two. Cant wait to see how it'll run. I have faith in planning and doing things myself, this way I have a choice of what I want to be included in the turbo setup. Hopefully I will be as fast as "over the counter" turbo kit. Wish me luck

Update!! I got my turbo and bov. Pretty cool, my turbo is from a saab and it has an adjustable internal wastegate. That means it will be a hell of a lot easier to tune, and even more easy to turn up when I want to. Also no need for a boost controller, which means more money to be saved.
Again I plan on having a sub $1000 turbo setup running as fast as the purchased kits. As always I will keep you updated on times, progress, problems, fixes, and suggestions. Wish me luck. Oh yeah, my shitty website is up http://members.home.net/turbocivx/welcome/
Check it out. More to come soon!!!

 

I'm not positive, but aren't saab turbo's VERY small?

 

Yeah it is small. But like I said, I am on a budget here. Once I have everything installed and I get bored of the low flow turbo, I will upgrade to either a Super 60 or a T3/T4e. I dont see how everyone spends all this money on the kits, there has got to be so much markup on them, this is only because you getting exactly what it is "a complete package". But then again, it still sucks because most of the kits out there you still need to upgrade in some sort of way anyhow.
Anyways, I just want to have cheap, somewhat reliable boost. I dont want to be under my hood every day and I dont want to run 11's or even 12's. ****, I am somewhat happy with my times right now being pretty much stock, and N/A.......
