Default Compiling a list for a "junkyard turbo"

So far:

T25 turbo from 96 mitsubishi GS-T
all the charge piping, air filter..
what manifold is cheapest? or can i make one out of a header ?
downpipe

i know I SHOULD have a BOV, but i am trying to get the bare minimum to run like 5psi on a b16a2, just a turbo..period. I will upgrade as I go.

thanks for ANY input..

thanks,
mike

You can get a manifold from thedropshop.tv for around 200 to 300 bucks. Or try to find a used one. Headers are too thin to make turbo manifolds out of usually. Grab the injectors, bov and intercooler from that gs-t. Buy a fuel controller too. Don't try to run without one 'temporaily' because you might break something.

Check out my site in the sig.

Dropshop has the cheapest log manifold.

Make the downpipe yourself.

5 psi still needs a BOV. Get the Bosch one for $45.

See my parts list for locations to buy stuff.

if you gonna spend money on a bov try and find a 1g dsm bov, you should be able to find one for under $50 and they are much better then the napa ones or the 2g dsm's
