I basically got everything except the turbo, bov, and maf for a little over a grand. Pretty good, cause I looked on e-bay and can't piecemeal it together for the same cost. He had already sold the turbo, bov and maf off to his friend. So I'm talking to Turbonetics about a bigger turbo, as I'm designing this one more for pulling stuff, plus I wanted one with ball bearings too, and minimal lag.

I will keep everyone posted on the install and give the credit where credit is due of course. I'm going to try to get a before and after dyno, so I know exactly what kind of an increase I got with it.

It's going to take awhile as I work a ton of overtime, and not much time on the side for projects. Of course momma and the kiddies want my time too.
