Default $350 to spend on what?

I have an extra $350 to spend on my car this month. Next month I am going turbo, probably the greddy 92-95 kit with an EBAY FMIC. Also next month I am doing wheels and tires. What should I do with the money I was thinking about the Apexi VAFCII but I'm not sure about how to work it and all of that stuff.

Donate to the Max Kind hitting 11s on a daily fund.

Save it incase you need anything more for the turbo kit.

AFCs are a waste.

I would say look into other kits greddys suck, unless your in CA and forced too.

With 2 grand you will easily be able to sift through the H-T marketplace and make your own turbo kit.

Use an Ebay front mount, get a shop or buddy who can weld to do the IC piping, get oil lines from homedepot or earls performance.

Ebay blow-off valve and you're set!

FMIC, blow-off, and maybe a cast iron mani are the only thing I would get from ebay.

Are there any good How-to write ups on building your own kit, like every part and stuff?

Why yes, there is. Go to the FI forum, and open up the FAQ. There are like 4 awesome articles in there that describe what parts are needed.

^ Extremely thorough walk through.

Okay I'll check it out. I'm more of a do it yourself guy anyways, I just don't know much about turbo setups yet. I figure with the D15b not having much aftermarket turbo is the way to go.

Just go look through the Forced Induction forum FAQ. It is so full of everything you could need it's ridiculous.

You better save that extra $300. Your going to need it, every project that I have done has always gone over budget. A lot of other people can probably attest to that as well. Your always going to need more money usually, because things always seem to break or you need a speciall tool that only snap carries $$$$

give that money to me, then I'll help you install your ebay kit in a couple of years. j/k. I think you should save it, or go ahead and start pieceing together a kit.
