Re: Pieced together Turbo Kits? (Big Carbon)
My kit is pretty much all home made. I think the total was about $1300. Most parts were new other then the turbo. piping, manifold, and DP are all homemade. Flanges I got for free from a friend

Re: Pieced together Turbo Kits? (Big Carbon)
I am still in the process. Very very close to finishing. Heres parts/prices
T3 Rebuilt SMALL, so small, off of late 80's Saab 9000 A/R of 48 on turbine and 45 ( ? ) on compressor. ==== Ebay $175
I will be upgrading soon after turbo is in, believe me.
DRAG3 manifold ==== Partstrader $175 included autometer boost gauge
Wastegate ==== Free -- Internal w/g on T3 +A plus, its adjustable!
Downpipe ==== Last part of project, probably not too much. Will include test pipe too.
Starion I/C ==== Junkyard $50. Need to have piping moved to side--still on to do list.
Custom 2.25 charge piping ==== 3 u-bend from JC Whitney $75 shipped
1G DSM BOV ==== $40 shipped
Stainless steel oil feed and dump lines w/all connectors ==== Total approx. $50 -ANplumbing.com and Ebay (find some fantastic deals for this **** on Ebay)
Misc. gaskets and flanges ==== About $45 - RoadRaceEngineering (10% discount if 5 items are bought)
Fuel Pump ==== Still need tp purchase, Walbro HP 255 -- $107 from autoperformanceengineering.com
Paxton 12:1 FPR ==== $95 shipped from DragIIcivic (moderator of this board)
Autometer A/F and oil pressure gauges ==== Summit $90 or so
Damn I think thats everything.....
I will be upgrading the expensive stuff in the future, but for now I just want boost. Enough to put me in the mid 13's hopefully!
Happy Boosting

Re: Pieced together Turbo Kits? (RGAZ)
I am in the process right now of peicing a turbo kit. The cost will be minimum and the results will be fenominal. I know the setup to run fast, I just need to get the rest of the parts. In about a month the car will be complete and runnin hard. The key to getting parts is to know what works and what doesn't with each setup.

Re: Pieced together Turbo Kits? (lucas569)
Agreed Mine is nearly completed as well:
I'm a bit **** about buying used parts, so everything I buy is brand new, definitely nothing wrong with used parts, just a personal preference.
Garrett T3 Turbine w/ Internal Wastegate $412.50 Shipped
HKS SSQ BOV $191.07 Shipped
HKS Type-1 Turbo Timer $105 Shipped
SFP(South Florida Performance) Custom Manifold $425
SFP(South Florida Performance) Custom Downpipe $175
SFP(South Florida Performance) Custom Vaccum hosing, all lines $125
APEXi Sylvia FMIC $550(debating whether this is the FMIC I want)
Custom Fabrication/Piping $350
FMU Questionable, don't know what brand, I need a good price on one of these!
Some things are unlisted but for the majority of the rest of stuff shouldn't run me over another $350-$400.
