hope he didn't pay much for it. those home depot special rubber couplings won't hold boost. i've seen them blow up like ballons first hand. piping looks really sloppy, i would go to an exhaust shop and have them redo them. what turbo is that a t-25 from a 2nd gen dsm? what kinda manifold is that?

Hope he didnt pay too much. That is the uglyiest thing I have ever seen. I would probabally settle for a slow car over that snail anyday. If you are going to do it.....do it right. I do not mean to be offensive in anyway, just stating my opinion.

Ugly? When the hood is closed.. it doesn't matter because he's still faster..
Looks like a 14B or a T25, either way it's a good deal, get the fuel setup and slap it on!

looks like an eclipse 1st gen 14b or 2nd gen t25, but that piping is mad ghetto and like someone else said those fittings will give you boost leakage he should of got the mitsu sidemount also

I could probally weld you better piping, and I have only used a welder twice in my life 
At least he is going to have boost, well maybe for awhile. If that was next to free then

Not really something you post up pictures of. I understand your enthusiasm for obtaining something new and exciting...But you must admit, that is one DIY ghetto setup.

Was that a highschool shop project or something? I would hope no one paid to have that piping made.
