anybody has a custom turbo setup?

[Lay]

I know I can buy a kit for vendors on here, but I'm a former dsm owner( cheap), so I want to bulid a cheap kit. The only part I'll spend the money on is the turbo itself. So, please post your custom setup.

[Tex]

please define custom kit. what exactly are you looking for. custom as in you will have to modify somthing, so that its completly unique like mine, or you want to piece together your own kit with readily available parts?

"cheap" and "modding" shouldnt be used together do it right the first time or not at all. but thats just my .02 look in the by sell you can get a used kit for a really good price on there......

you can pice a kit together ..

just buy the turbo from one of the vendors .. and then go n get urself a exh manni for cheap .. and a wga for chaep ... and some hoses n fittings and all ..

there was a guy on here if u search budget 50 trim .. u will find it .. he put a kit together for undre 1000 beans n he used an ebay turbo .. n he is fine so far .. i think hes in or near the 400whp mark

I mean piece together a kit. I guess custom is the wrong word. I have alot of dsm turbo parts. I have a 2g install kit with ss oil lines, fittings, and gasket.

im doing the same thing Homemade turbo..........i use to do it with all my civic's with sabb dsm turbos it so much fun......... im gunna start off with an hp racing manifold and im gunna buy a gt3076r.......... im gunna rock that manifold till the full race one comes out and im buying that but for now the hp is fine

my custom 400hp turbo setup that looks all stock cost me upwards of $3000. but its everything i wanted!!!!!! it will all depend on what your looking for and what compromises your willing to make

[jasonsrt4]

This is true! Mine does not look stock......at all. I spent around $1000 to get it running. I spent some money in dyno time, about 200. But now I am moving a little more upward. I ordered my meth injection today, and I am doing a return line as soon as I can get this fuel rail decesion made. But my set up does look good, I get lots of compliments. I am going to be shooting for 450 hp by the end of fall, then I am done. I want to put a nice stereo in it. I have Nitrous as well, but I have yet to hit the button.
