its looking liek between $1400 and $1600 for parts. doing all the work my self so that takes out polly another 1k. my buddy has a welder and pipe bender so im bending all the piping my self which will take the cost out but im still gonna get DIY intercoller piping kit just to have nice aluminum peices under the hood. im getting a Cartech adjustable fmu for $100 off a buddy brand new, the turbo was only $250 so that saves me about $350 right there consider the turbo was $500 new and the fmu was $200 new. i would say with a masterpower brand new t3/t4 60 trim turbo and all new parts it would be about 1k. i plan on taking @ least 2 weekend to do this project. sending the ecu out this friday.

ECU was sent out last thursday overnighted 2 the tuner's, and should be back this thursday from the tuners for the turbo tune. ordering lots of parts tommorow.

my computer should be back thursday or friday of this week reflashed for a base turbo tune just to get it 2 the dyno. but if the a/f ratio stays good @ 8psi i will hold off on a full dynotune until i get some meth.

but

as soon as my check for $900 to my mom clears i will be ordering LOTS OF TUBING,FLANGES, COUPLERS, T-BOLT CLAMPS, my intercooler, BOV, and boostguage.

All thats left to order after that is

AEM wideband-$260
Turbonetics evolution wastegate-$220
Braided hoses-$60 for oil
Oil pump-$150
Fittings and check valves-$100
FMU-$100
and Fuel pump- $100

Bolts and hardware- $100

gonna start prefabricating everything not this weekend but next weekend and cutting holes and what not.

i plan on doing this right the first time so once its on its on and working perfect unlike my nitrous set-up.

BTW!!!!!!!-----
I need a tool that can expand the end of an exhaust tube so it will slip over another tube. anyone know where i can find one of those.

its going in front of the radiator..... i know it doenst look the best but it will be the easiest and most effective @ cooling


still waiting on ecu to come in.

ecu came in last friday. runs fine. shifts better, no speed limiter, and other ****.

and so i ordered a bunch of **** 2night. BOV, I.C., all the oil lines and fittings except for the oil pump, all of the tubing, clamps, flanges, gaskets. now comes time 2 remove my muffler and send my exhaust tubing 2 an exhaust shop 2 get, W/G. flange, T3 turbo flange, and Wideband 02sensor bungs all welded up, as well as a 20degree bend for some extra clearance on the compressor side. gave her a check for $900, total of all that **** came out 2 $892. Next paycheck is paying for, fuel pump, FMU, Boost guage, oil pump, wastegate, 02sensor ..... then maybe a few more misc **** and i will have all of the parts 2gether
