you should totally steer away from that knock off. My vac nipple snapped right off when i put the slightest pressure on it hooking up the vac line. Pieces of chit basically, but every case varies.

What else is needed for your turbo project to be completed? I never even knew you had a project thread. lol

jprommel
07-03-2009, 09:52 AM
Oil lines, oil and boost gauges, teh ecu and ob2-ob1 conversion harness, and the walbro 255 fuel pump...

birthdays coming up tho so hopefully i'll get some $ and i can get some more ****.

this project looks way too similar to mine. Did you get rid of that knock-off BOV yet? And are you planning on upping the boost in the future to put that fuel pump to use? I'm excited to see how this turns out.

How much have you spent already? and how close are you to picking up everything?

jprommel
07-08-2009, 02:38 PM

Intend to install tomorrow...

If you don't mind the asking, what's the project cost so far? Seems like a pretty straight forward build.

A custom turbo build can be built for 1k-2k. So he has probably/will probably spend that much.

I had about 2800 in mine. From talking with josh, i believe he is only at 700ish or so. He's hoping to do it in a lil over 1k
