The turbo is a holset hx50 bought from ebay. Intercooler is a $125.00 one from ebay. I bought a set of $89.00 chevy block hugger headers and just flipped them upside down, chopped off the 3 hole flanges, hammered the top of the valve covers a bit to allow the headers to fit over them, I bought mild steel exhaust building kits for the piping from headers to turbo flange and for piping from turbo to intercooler to carb. I forgot how much I got the mild steel kits for, but I got them from the racing solution sponsor here on hmt. Everthing was welded using cheap mig and tig welders. The carb hat is a $70 specter unit from pepboys. I used the demon carburetor because it was the only one I had. If I was to do it over, I would of just spent the money for a used holley and modified that one because It took me a long time to figure out how to tune the demon for boost past 10lbs. Even now, it still not tuned the way I would like it to be. The ignition consists of a proform distributor from ebay, a msd 6al box and boost timing master from members here on hmt bought used but cheap. The boost timing master pulls timing when boost kicks in. The 1 most expensive part was the $275 ngx wideband. You should be able to put your kit together for around 1200 dollars with buying cheap parts through ebay and the forums. Any questions just pm me.

When going blowthrough with a holley carb, you need a double pumper. I'm not looking for one at the moment, I just meant that if I was to do it over, I would of prefered to use a regular holley instead of the mighty demon.
