look at the stickies at the top of the pages and read around alot this has been asked many times befor. Are you making a car that is fun on the street or a car that it built for the track?

 

It will be my dd but I still want to have fun.Some of the people I work with and hang out with hit the track on the weekends so I would like to go and have some fun.I have been reading about turbo setup's online but most everyone has been saying that this site is the best for my needs.Today is my first day on HTM so thank's to all for your help because not sure where to start.Realy dont a kit that's why I here.

 

Hey there, and welcome to the forum. First of all, DO NOT purchase an eBay turbo kit. The amount of money you spend on one can be used in making your own kit which will not blow. Down below i have put a kit for you which will last you a few years.

--> Turbocharger: You're better off getting a Garrett/AiResearch turbo. ~ $150-300 (rebuilt)
--> Exhaust Manifold: Any Castiron eBay turbo manifold will do ~$130 shipped
--> Downpipe: Custom fabricated should be around $70. you'll also want a full 2.5/2.75 exhaust or you can sorda use the stock one (:P)~$400
--> Wastegate: not really needed as its more custom fab work for nothing. Get it internally gated in the turbo
--> Intercooler: Any intercooler from a junk yard. Pretty decent ones are the SAAB or VOLVO intercoolers. Or get a complete eBay kit for $160 shipped which includes the piping
--> Blow off valve: Stock 1g/2g talon; Audi/VW; SAAB/VOLVO BOSCH Diverter Valve ~$30
--> Intercooler Piping: See Intercooler
--> Couplers/t-bolts: Should be included in the Intercooler package
--> Oil drain/feed lines: From any Fitting store. will run you about ~$70
--> Vacuum Manifold: (not required)
--> Gauges: You'll really only need a PSI and OIL Gauge. A/F would really matter if you're getting a tune. ~$80

300

$970 (did not include the price of the full exhaust)

The rest should be put into a tune or purchase yourself a FMU (fuel management unit (usually used for superchargers - vortech)) -~$80 AND a Missing Link/Check Valve (so the motor wouldnt see boost) ~$50

Hope that helped
