RE: I wanna do a custom turbo

i love the diagram! wat u would need for a turbo setup is turbo, manifold, wastegate, downpipe, intercooler, intercooler piping, oil lines, bov, injectors, fuel pump, fmu, clamps, couplings. i think i got everything. but remember, its gonna cost a pretty penny to do, but it'll be worth it. there will be little problems here and there, so be prepared to spend extra money here and there. im building my own custom kit, and im getting some help with a performance shop in new orleans, but im spending a good $3000 or so for everything i need. my friend told me that this is an expensive hobby, so if u r gonna do it, do it right the first time and spend the extra cash.

you need to shop around a bit. thats an awful lot to be spending on a custom turbo. what parts are you using?

for 3000 dollars if you are using all new materials is not that bad if it includes all plumbing but if you are getting used stuff it is a lil pricey

RE: I wanna do a custom turbo

i think getting the plumbing right would be the tuffest part to buy.
