Good luck. It takes a little while to put one together. Its best to just buy one.

http://www.ssheaders.com/Collectors.htm here's some pretty cheap ones! not sure how thick they are and how well they'd hold a turbo but might be worth a shot for ya!

i realize that buying one wuold save a lot of time and probably cost less in the long run, but i need to make use of myself in my TIG welding class.
