Nitrous, Super Chargers, & Turbos - What does everybody think of this set up

My friend has been offered this set up from some guy on his del-sol forum. It may seem expensive but its still cheaper than a UK kit.


Exhaust manifold is a one of a kind custom made stainless steel ram horn
manifold designed to allow for A/C to be retained with the use of an internally wastegated turbo. This is the only manifold ever made to these
specs afaik. The manifold maker told me he would never do another like it because it was such a huge pain in the ass. I had him also put a take
off for an external wastegate on the manifold for future upgrading if you
want to change turbos/remove a/c, etc. Never used.


Turbo is a garrett T3 60 trim .42 .48. The housings are remanufactured,
but the chra is all brand new garrett parts.

Downpipe is 2.5" stainless steel with an 02 bung and flex section. Very
tight in there for clearance. This needs to be modified a bit to fit. A
cat flange needs to be added and a little section rotated... nothing major.

Function 7 oil reducer for the turbo. Restricts oil flow(hondas run
about twice the oil pressure the turbo is designed for) for extended seal
use).

Aircraft grade stainless steel oil line with an- fittings. Purchased
from pegasus racing. This is stuff meant for high end race cars/air planes,
not a cheap oil line kit.

7" high intercooler. Fits the grill perfectly, very stealth looking.
Intercooler is already drilled for install.


(shows the
intercooler behind the bumper... very subtle yet very sexy)

2.5" mandrel bent charge pipes(used to run some crushed bent 2.25"
pipes that worked ok, but aren't the most appealing looking). These need to be cut to fit, but that's no big deal. I may wrap them in carbon fiber for a very one of a kind appearance and much better heat insulation for a bit extra.

DSM blow off valve, with flange and pipe. Flange needs to be welded to
the charge pipes.

DSM blue top 450cc injectors and resistors.

Necessary electronics to chip the ecu with a basemap with uber.

is that like 2,190 dollars? i just dont know what the currency comes out to. but if the turbo is in good shape then i say that kit is alright. not for 2k but its a good kit. the manifold looks sweet and its def a plus how the guy who made it set it up for an internal wastegate. i would say talk him down some more.

thats a pretty tight bend for the downpipe but at least its mandrel bent. manifold looks sick

Yeah the manifold does look a beast, and aryiman I think its about $2,170 so yeah its highly priced but not by UK standards. My friend will have to haggle the down the guy selling it as he hasnt got that much money. Anymore thoughts anybody?

Looks like a pretty sound setup to me. It's missing a lot of the little things that you should have for a boost project, but as long as he's planning for those extra expenses he should be fine.
