So im planning to turbo my 2014 tc , i have a friend whos selling me a td04 turbo which he rebuilt for pretty cheap . Im thinking of getting a custom turbo manifold built for the turbo. You guys think itll work ? im trying to run 7 psi on stock internals

I'm betting buy the time your all said and done with tubing and ecu and everything you need you probably won't save anything. Your better off going dezod or ptuning. You have brand new car don't try n cut corners.

im not trying to cut corners im just trying to be cost effective , i want the dezod kit but its 5k and i still need to pay for tuning

Have you looked into the cost of everything else ? Tuner and harness will be over $1000. Probably close to $1000 on fittings and tubing by time your done. Blow off valve oil lines. Intercooler. So much stuff I that kit it's worth 5k. Unless you work in a performance shop where you can get stuff for cost.

John1TC

ill take your advice into consideration, right now im still need to get some $$ to fund this project

This is 100% correct. Many people start out the with the idea you are speaking about and spend countless dollars and time trying to "save" money and end up in the long run with 100s of hours of headaches to come out to the same dollar amount as our kit or more. We have done the R&D for you. No need to reinvent the wheel. The cost of the FIC and harness alone are $1000-ish.
