    maybe starting a turbo project

    Well i have been thinking about it for awhile and have done some research. my question is if i do most of the work myself and get used parts. I also am planning on getting a small turbo, so i dont have to do internal mods. I know prices range, i just want to know how cheap it has been done by someone. And infomation like sites or books would be a great help also. Thanks

    Well i've spent so far around $1,700 in parts this includes:

    Garett T3 .42 trim
    524td manifold, wich i think i'll ditch and make a custom one.
    Intercooler
    Paxton FMU
    Sequential HKS BlowOff
    SMT6 piggyback
    Mustang injectors
    Thicker head gasket
    Intake and exhaust manifold gaskets
    Set of gauges and pods
    Greddy full auto timer
    Blitz Dual SBC electronic boost controller
    Oil feed and oil return lines and fittings
    Fuel and vacuum hoses

    Currently still left to do:
    Still not sure what to do with the manifold.
    Custom piping (intake and exhaust)
    Head bolts and install heagasket (i think i'll first install everything and wait till i can get money for raceware studs, so i'll run low boost for the moment.)

    I think thats pretty much it, maybe i left something but thats what i remember off hand. Just be prepared to spend a lot of cash and a lot of custom work. Also be aware of frustration :)

    Good Luck.
