Re: what do i need for a turbo? (lsturboswap)
ok so u will need
turbo (DUHH)
turbo manifold
inter cool
piping
BOV
Waste gate (if your turbo isn't internally waste gated)
oil and coolant line kits (depending on your turbo)
now the parts im not sure if are mandatory but are recommended
bigger fuel injectors (recommended)
programmable ecu (recommended, i answered you about that one on the other thread)
turbo timer
internal upgrades depending on how much boost you wan to run
you could just buy a kit and make it a lot easier on your self, because this list could just keep going and going you know
any thing else im forgetting maby some one else can help. other than that you need to use the red search button in the upper right corner. people have surely done this before and would have done a write up.

honestly its up to you... I bought my whole Homemade kit for $1000, that includes turbo, charge pipes, intercooler, BOV...etc plus Greddy Profec II B, with matching turbo timer, injectors, p28 ecu and redoing basics for a turbo (ARP head studs, Cometic head gasket, Gates racing timing belt, and new water pump) I bought all brand name stuff, but I just shopped around and bought it piece by piece and My "homemade" "turbo kit" isn't junk at all a matter of fact its better than most turbo kits you buy for $2500~$3000

yeah cars are in junk yard because they get rear ended, t-boned ect. just cause its a junk yard part doesn't mean its junk. i can get a FMIC for $20 instead of $300. some people don't have a ton of money to blow on there car so we find more economic ways to get the same result. and if i recall the whole honda tunning scene originated from people fabricating or modifying part to make there little eco box faster. not till the sport compact boom was a commercial turbo kit available.
srry to go raving but taking parts from a sabb isn't ghetto its home made. and whats with the add. at the end of your post "i.e. Spoolin' Performance" come on

Re: (eg8tuner)
If it spools like a turbo, boosts like a turbo, Hoe is a turbo.
A turbo is a turbo is a turbo.
Junkyard Intercoolers FTW.
It's relatively inexpensive to buy a used "commercial" kit. Or even buy it all peice by piece. Find competitive pricing and look around for the steals. Ebay, craigslist, region specific forums "importatlanta", "arizona honda tuners", etc etc.
