Default turbo setup

what do you guys think of this setup? I'm getting ready to buy it now but was wondering if I could get some quick feedback first. Virtually everything except a standalone but I'm planning on picking a good one up seperately. Also i'll need a downpipe, I'll prolly just get my mechnic to make one for me.

yeah, I talked to the guy and when he bought it he had it cut and rewelded. Says never broke apart on him.

I'm not planning on anymore power than 170-180whp I'm thinking of just using stock injectors for now. He is offering b18 injectors for an extra $85.

wow...he fails... you can buy dsm 450's for 90 or so with a resistor box and would be better than b18 injectors. Ummm spend $100 and get new injectors...dont cheap out on the fuel...youll blow up real quick

yeah dude i got my DSMs, rings and box for way less than $100, just hit up eBay or the classifieds. Other than that it looks pretty legit, manifold is janky but w/e, it'd prolly work. Can't bea the price FOR SURE.

Default RE: turbo setup

you think I would lean out on stock injectors under 180whp?

I'm not going to immediately bolt this on my car and go, I do plan on getting more stuff.

Well the manifold held up for him with no problems after getting it rewelded. I'll check it out when I get it.

I think i'll be fine on stock internals for that power level. I will prolly get ARP headstuds just to be safe.
