same thing i'll be shooting for when i boost mine, with interior, a/c, p/s, and a sound system. Maybe i should look for the same snail so i can start piecing my kit together.

 

I don't have p/s anymore, and i have a partial wire tuck(complete driver side). i will be doing a abs delete when i swap the engine, and i will also finish the wire tuck. i am going to try to find somewhere that can make custom a/c lines to help unclutter the bay. my $.02, if you boost get a good turbo. even if its a used oem. i learned my lesson with the ebay t3/t04 turbo's. they work, but boost doesnt come on till around 4-4.5k rpm and after 10-15k miles they are ready for a rebuild. if you dont mind replacing them every year they are fine tho. lol bottom line, you get what you pay for.

 

now that being said, i have a ebay ic that is fine, and how do you mess up piping?? lol but the manifolds are junk, and the wastegates are junk. if you can find one, get an old turbonetics log manifold. i was able to get my old one back. they are strong, and have a centralized wastegate bung. very good unit imo

 

they look like this.

 

yeah thats what i've been reading. Just brand name snails, exhaust mani's and wastegates and you're good. Piping and ic can be ebay. But im also thinking of getting a sidemount intercooler from a saab or subaru or something so i dont have to cut up my 91 bumper for a front mount. i hate the 92-93 bumpers. lol. and i want to hide some of my harness' too, not a full tuck or anything.

 

dude, saab 9-5 stock front mount inter cooler ftw. they're like perfect, if you can find one cheap

 

yeah, wasn't i talking to you about this a while back ap? lol. dude i wish you would finish your set-up.

edit: one of these?

if you are wanting a side mount i would think a stock gst/gsx eclipse ic would work good.

 

haha yeah prob. were. i'm a fan of them after seeing them. and yeah yeah... everyone wants me to finish it but me lol. someday....maybe

and no, thats just an ebay inter cooler right there. let me see if i can find you a saab one

 

whoops, my bad. the 9-5 has the big inter cooler. i was thinking it had the small one... either way, here it is...

yeah i found one like that but in beat up condition i didn't wanna post the link for it. lol.

Hopefully by springtime i'll start collecting all my pieces since i'll be smog excempt for another 2 years after february.

 

hey hydro, have you ever thought of a air to water intercooler?

 

i'v never even heard of that man. lol. im pretty much a newb to turbos. this will be my first attempt.

 

air to water coolers are for space minded set ups. but there is more involved. in addition to the intercooler itself you would need a electric water pump, a resivoir bottle and a cooler(like a oil or tranny cooler)

 

That sounds pricey. And seems like it would be more things for me to blow up on my first boost set-up. lol.

 

i really want a turbo..... so the three things are cheap reliable fast right? correct me of im wrong XD
but im down for a cheap reliable turbo only wanna run like 9psi on stock internals currently have a b18a1 with under 50K miles ^_^ but im in negative funds owe my parents money

 

yeah it's those 3 but you can only have 2 combinations. lol.

 

yeah i picked cheap reliable haha only wanting to push like 9psi don't really wanna push it im not street racer ^_^ i generally abide the law just want a little more torque ya know =]

my bad i just realized cheap and reliable has nothing to do with power hahaha.

meant to say something like.. cheap and reliable turbo build but that makes no sense haha

 

supposedly. i have never agreed with that statement and never will

 

haha, why so andy?
