ok so i just got my turbo kit two days ago and decided to throw out the intercooler and some stuff

i fabbed up my own stage 0 setup with a
45 trim t3
treadstone monaifold
knock off wastegate with tial spring at 5.8psi
ebay blow off
pipping cut by hand...hardcore
dezod oil lines and hardware
custom stainless steel downpipe with recirc. dump

oh yea your prob wondering why im calling it project stealth well i painted pipes black and have bov and dump recirculate and also im not running intercooler , i need black couplers soon

heres a sneek peek


sorry u dont get to see the downpipe ill get a pic up as soon as i get my 02 bung in it

 

sounds lame

 

That'll work fine, just make sure you have management and a tune.

 

how much did it cost yah?

 

get rid of everything "ebay"

 

 

haha no tune for now =[ fail

 

The ebay BOV look like a greddy RS.

 

this is what i plan to do, minus the ebay stuff!

your wastegate is what keeps your engine from going BOOM! consider a namebrand one.

keep us posted, really interested how this turns out!

 

its a knock off of the rs its called type-rs haha it well it works i tried it on my dsm

 

ive ran knock off wastegates on my both my dsms aslong as u run a tial spring your good to go most of the times

 

Gotcha. It look exactly like the greddy rs I have on mine.

 

what about the turbo?

ebay im guessing! lol

Planning on dynoing?

 

Yea i trust ebay for some stuff but not others Wouldnt really trust an ebay turbo but I havent tried them so i will deff not diss it like others - i hope it works for you - as for the manifold - i have the same one Great manifold - mines held up great for over 6 months and 8000 miles - no probs at all

 

My roomate did a custom IC piping for a front mount on his S4. You probably have taken care of this already, but you should get a tool to puts lips on them.

Otherswise, the connectors will slip off constantly.

 

again.. get rid of everything ebay

stop trying to justify buying ebay stuff

 

O yea and to get your stage 0 up to a little more power you could consider building a home made meth inject kit - i conjured one up for about $60-90 in parts

 

manifold 300
turbo 400
downpipe 200
pipes/coupler/tbolt 100
wastegate 80
spring 40
bov 25
oil feed and return and hardware 124..dezod =]

 

Have you used an ebay turbo and had it fail on you? If not than quit bashing a product youve never used. I know alot of ebay stuff is sub par quality but you have no right to give your "review" of a product youve never actually tested. Now if you have tested them and have had them fail free free to post accurate information but this stupid stuff about "get rid of everything ebay" etc gets really annoying, please offer constructive help or dont post at all

 

oh yea theres other small prices for gaskets and stuff but ive only spent 1424 and still have money to spare about 600 to spare
