thanks
a manifold that fits, a dumptube that fits, intercooling piping that fits, a downpipe that fits.............basically piping issues. all piping can be custom fabbed.

you can piece together a piece of crap turbo system composed of a crappy manifold, turbo, intercooler, fmu, blah blah blah for $1500 that works......................or................you can fab yourself a turbo with quality parts.

concerning prefab kits, they are awesome. however for 3k they can do better. for 3k you can do better.

the $1500 turbo system = gets you up and running with a turbo. spend more for a better turbo, manifold, intercooler, management system, boost controller, catch can, blah, blah, blah = you will be more happy and encounter less problems along the way.
