About how much does everything run, just a turbo and piping...

Prices minus the turbo...I wanna know an estimate on everything else...

probably like 1000. but dont forget an intercooler too. i'd say if u junk yarded all the parts you could get a complete setup minus the fuel management for approx 800-1500. for new parts figure like 2000

I would rather go with all new parts and do it right the first time...

well a new or rebuilt t3 turbo will run you anywhere from 450-800 or so , a decent intercooler will be around 900-1000 , and then piping wouldnt be too much if u can do it yerself. the fuel management would be the hardest part. u could run a t4 too look up a turbo rebuilding place or a cheap place online. the hardest part will be finding a turbo manifold. if u can make it but that goes for alot of stuff.

seriously! You never watched Macgyver? I can build a thermo-nuclear warhead with a couple toothpicks, a stick of gum, some bleach, and a used condom.

I'm having the same idea slowpoke414 has...the Hybrid turbo is said to spool a lot faster while giving substantial boost...

I know a guy who can bend pipes...(he did my exhaust on previous vehicle)...you think an exhaust pipe bender could make a header??
-that's a serious question too...

yes you can make a manifold with strong enough pipes. and it will spool pretty good.

you can only get so much outta a small motor. i mean it's one thing to have huge gains but i'd like to have something reliable
