Default my custom turbo setup sofar...

well, this is what ive come up with so far:

7 90 degree 2.5" aluminum bends - $126 (speedpartsrus.com)
Greddy type S BOV -$180 (groupbuycenter.com)
Tial 38mm WG - $210 (groupbuycenter.com)
T3/T04E garrett 50 trim .63 a/r housing - $549 (cheapturbo.com)
F.M.I.C. tube&fin 31x6.5x2.75 - $295 (speedpartsrus.com)
downpipe, local muffler shop custom - ~$50 (guessing)
Lovefab "shorty" manifold - $300 (lovefab.com)
Boost gauge - $40 (discount auto parts )
oil return & feed line parts - $175 (ANplumbing.com)
misc clamps, nuts, bolts etc... - ~$50 (guessing)
Hondata w/ boost capability - $495 (not sure were yet)
2 hours of dyno tuning - ~$600 (not sure were yet)

and the total comes to.... $3070 *ouch*

i THINK thats everything i will need, as you can see i dont really have ANY "hookups", the only friend of mine with an "in" works for discount auto parts, and he cant really get a discount, but at least he is a big help with finding parts etc...

so what do you guys think? any changes you would make? know of any better deals? thanks for all the help!

His big $$ was the hondata and $600 for tuning. Thats $1000 right there. So the turbo kit was only $2000 which isnt too bad.

Adults aren't lucky because of taxes, believe me man! I have been paying taxes since i was 18 and no tax returns for myself. It sucks.

Ok the car stuff. you can pick up a hondata for between 425-450 if you take the time to shop around. And I am pretty sure you can get tuning for way way cheaper than that. my tuner tunes for 125 an hour and he is very well known!

Just shop around and you will find the deals you are looking for, Good Luck
