Do you just have a turbo or a whole kit? What are your HP goals? You would be better off getting a whole kit, low end kits would be like the godspeed or greddy. Mid priced kits would be ultimate, inline, and SC systems. Higher end stuff which takes a bit more to piece together Full Race, Pfab and others which will require a bit more fabrication.
You would just need a emanage Ult and rc500's, just make sure you have a tuner who can tune your system.

well my goals are 300whp daily,
i only bought the turbo with wastegate for 350 dollars is that the right price?
i dont want a huge nice turbo or anything like reallly nice, my friend gave me an invoice on my turbo and he said it would be 3000 to 3500.
and that includes everything.
and what do you mean get a membership?

Well, it sounds like you got an internally WG turbo which your gonna have a hard time finding a manifold. Do you know what size turbo flange it has T25 T3.
$350 for a turbo is a good price, but max it would be new around $600.
It appears your best bet is to return the the turbo and get a godspeed or greddy turbo kit. I would lean toward the godspeed cause it has the revhard manifold and is external WG. Your gonna spend more money putting everything togther than to just buy it as a kit. There are a few good turbo kits in the for sale forum.

Ult stands for the Greddy E manage Ultimate
Good Luck

i have had 2 godspeed kits, my boy just bought one and had it put on at PTUNING and had it tuned. i'm one of the promoters for this kit. I've done All my own work minus tuning.
My suggestion is do not get an internal WG turbo.. i have a 50 trim t3/t4 turbo and its external with a 38mm tial... also comes with the kit.
if your gonna go with injectors.... i HIGHLY... and i do mean HIGHLY suggest going with injector dynamic bosch ones.....they are a lil on the pricier side and i have 1000cc's but my car drives so damn smooth, and my gas mileage is roughly the same.. i have a bad ass tuner and i've had other folks that tune and own shops know who he is...
I've had the rc750's and everyone ive spoken with agree they are junk.. they are cheaper alternative to the good stuff.. but once you go with injector dynamic ones... you'll be SO glad you did..
you may think 1000's are too much? sounds too much right? guess what.. if my car is tuned so well to the point where i'm still getting roughly the same amount of gas mileage as NA and i have NO hiccups.. they are worth getting... Evan at evan's tuning is friends of my tuner and both said to just get 1000's because there is virtually no difference in mileage and what not compared tot he smaller injector dynamics.. and its only a few dollars more... so why not...
the Godspeed kit is on par with Ultimate racing....i've seen both..and are virtually the same..
you can go with an EMU... but i wanted to have full control...i got the 1052u Aem, had the boost solenoid hooked up as well... no boost controller..
that turbo will spool just as quick as a greddy but the top end is there... and has room to grow depending on how much you want..
my suggestion is read... read your butt off..
just because the Price isn't high on a kit, does NOT mean its not a higher end kit. i've had this twice on my car...and with all the injectors and tuning out the door, i still spent less than 4 grand TOTAL. and believe me.. what i have compared to a greddy....there is no comparison.

well 1320engineering is helping me out here, and the reason why im going with this turbo is bcz buying a 3k to 5k turbo kit they dont include ,clutch ,flywheel, engine management and stuff so it cost more, i dont have a lot of money to be throwing into this car, im just happy with having the car overall.
and why should i buy a wastegate? if it already has one is it better to ? or will i have problems ?
HMFIC - would you send me a picture of your setup and how much whp have you made? and have you ran a 1/4 mile?

i honestly think you should NOT go FI if your worried about 3-5K. Believe me.
You should enjoy the car as is... when your able to get the cash one day.. then do it, and do it right...KNOWING things can blow and give and you would be able to financially repair them.
