custom turbo kit
Hi there, Im planning to do a custom turbo kit, I think about t3/t60-1 turbo but ı dont know which turbo manifold is better for this turbo application? I have not really much money. I think rev hard cast manifold or inlinePRO's manifold is well for me. I need your advice. second hand manifolds also good for me if anyone sell i can buy it... Thank you

If you don't have that much money I would forget about a turbo.
If you do go bargain basement (if that's possible) get it tuned by a reputable tuner. And there's just some parts that shouldn't be used.

If you want to use SSAC/OBX e-bay parts, you can do an entire turbo kit for very little $$. Reliability will probably be questionable, but the parts are cheap enough that you could replace them all a few times before hitting the price of nice parts.
if you're willing to build parts yourself or use used parts, kits can alse be made cheaply. IIRC, I sold my old manifold and downpipe for under $200.

Wuts up guys. If I wanted a custom turbo kit, as far as the turbo manifold is concerned in price and quality would it be a better idea to buy it from LoveFab for example or find a shop to fabricate it? Thx
Btw, the price of the LoveFab manifold alone is $1,100.

I would just pick up the revhard mani, bargain shop for all the related parts,ebay intercooler, but dont skimp on the ems. you pretty much need the stand alone ems to run a reliable turbo setup on our car.

Buy some 2.5" bends from kteller (or equivalent), cut and weld them. Bargain shop for couplers/clamps. Buy a turbo (60 trim t3/t4) on honda-tech for $575 shipped. Ebay for a bar and plate intercooler. AEM EMS. Find a decent tuner.....
