Yeah, you REALLY got off easy. If you think people here are ****** now, go ahead and pack your ---- and leave. You haven't witnessed anything.

I think you should prove all the ****** here wrong and put together a turbo setup for $400. Go ahead and dyno that engine of yours while you're at it. I think it's funny you don't even really know what parts you're looking for, but are certain that you can get them for $400.

you are a piece of ---- an will not get anywhere in life trying to bite the hands that feed you. everyone is telling you this info based on there dealings with boosted d's. fight all you want. but when you end up with a slow bunk *** fmu turbosetup dont come crying here with your problems.

crx2211

Turboedit or similar=$150 or so. Used DSM T25 with internal gate=$70. Ebay D-series cast T2 manifold=$80. 2G DSM BOV or Bosch BOV=$10>. DSM SMIC=$25. Random piping couplers and ----=$50. DSM 390's=$40. That's $430>. Add a janky *** MIG downpipe for $25 more. That's $450. Probably the cheapest route to go and you won't have to deal with Chinese ---- except the manifold, but it's cast and will hold up for awhile especially at the T25's wastegate pressure which is roughly 10psi. You can lengthen the actuator rod if you want to run less boost. I forgot little ---- like oil lines, but you can run the T25 oil cooled only if you want to run low boost. You can make a return line for your car out of the stock return line and a $0.40 fitting from the hardware store+fuel hose and JB weld. The feed line can also be made ghetto style with hardware store fittings and high pressure fuel hose or whatever. You'd be better served to just buy a stainless feedline and still come in well under the $500 mark.

A lot of that ---- I listed can be found for free or cheaper than I listed even. ---- a FMU though.

We've done it, collectively, a couple hundred times and have only told you the simple facts that 99% likely it'll cost more than twice your budget. That's being realists, not being ******.



His 135 hp B7 *estimate* was measured at the crank. That works out to less than 120 whp, you innumerate n00b-o-matic, and he had a lot more done to his setup than you do. Still, the only reason the car ran a flat 15 is because 1) he is the master of gearing 2) the car was stripped to a shell sometimes appearing with no rear bumper 3) he launched so hard on slicks he was known for breaking a couple differentials a year.

wow the most helpful

thanks for an impressive post where my question was actually resonded to and thought upon...

the problem is the ECU though(dyno time$), unless I could get a PM6 with a turbo map already on it, i do have the typical "rich chipped" PM6, but doubt that its rich enough for the said 10psi.... thats why I was aiming more at 6psi; non intercooled. I have 240cc injectors, how far til those are maxed? I do have a B&M FPR, that can help a little bit... Maybe I can get my hands on some prelude injectors, or should I jsut go for the said DSM 390's? ....

You may be right, but at least crx2211, gave me his idea. Thats why I came on here asking, and if you can tell how little I know about d's and turbo's, then maybe you could've given me a rundown of parts like crx2211 did...

Heres my goals: 160whp/170wtq (this would be great!), no intercooler, small turbo (no lag).... What are some good cheap cast manifolds? What are some great small turbos?

and as i've read a few times before (and as crx2211 stated), I shouldnt bother with an FMU?

not that im with this tool or anything but i could def see a first timer building a kit for 400 bux no problem.
20-40 mani
50 adaptor plate
20 for a bov
upto 120 for turbo
50ish smic
50 oil lines
the rest for pipes and dp
bout 400 bux well spent at the junk yard o and some injectors so id see more like 500 to b safe
but i dont see him boosting a car for 400.
and my boys z6 with all the bolt ons made like 110-114 whp and that was the best he could do after forkin up ---- loads of money for after market ----

there should b a section call spoonfed(not the member) and noobs should b able to get all the stupid ---- fed to them for a small fee. and all that $ could go right into the site and noobs shouldnt b able to post untill they have been fed

edit: someone already did the run down but i am a firm believer that we should charge for spoon feeding.

thank you dx101

Ok listen Id just like to apologize, I got frustrated and overreacted...

So my apologies to anyone who read the thread, attempted to help me or even shot down my amateur understandings of the turbo world; sorry.

And i appreciate all the help, and every post posted.

We all get frustrated sometimes. You put up with us, we'll put up with you.
