thats heappps good idea sleeper as wat it set u back? make decent power?

 

[peckzz]

yes im interested in price and power, looks weet, neva seen a turbo there b4

 

[darthdingas]

So far the whole thing has cost me about $600 i got the turbo from a mate (help him wreak his car) so I've had to buy a scavenge pump and the piping back to the manifold
little things like silicon bends hose clamp, hoses for the water cooled turbo and oil feed and return and a turbo rebuild kit, im running 8.5psi and it pulls alot harder now
dont have any times yet but when i do i'll post them, as for lag that ppl keep telling me about i say drive one i cant feel any!

600$ damn thats not much coin for what it is? how are the legal side of things with this sort of setup?

never the less .. fkin awsome man

 

[darthdingas]

Everything has to have 100mm or 4'' ground clearance and 20mm from chassie no extra muffler needed as the turbo acts as one so yeah pretty easy to do yourself
if you can get a good cheap turbo and a welder your :yahoo:
