First turbo project. Done. DA Teg. Back from the dead.
Ok so After a stupid oil leak, a blown compressor, and blown couplers, the Teg is done... For now.
This was a ghetto/budget build. Decided to take on a winter project.
My very first turbo setup, it did 90% on my own. All used parts, new ---- is over rated.
Thanks to all the help i got from HMT guys and g2ic.com turbo guide.
1990 Acura Integra GS w/blown motor $200
7lbs of boost
obd0-obd1 jumper $100
chipped p28 on chrome tuned. $280
b18b swap from HMO $2000
Turbonetics gen 3 t3 $175
Re-reinforce turbo XS mani w/heatwrap $100
HMT Ram $50
3" DP
Tial WG $50
Greddy type-s BOV $50
HKS front mount $50
eGay Nology wires $100
ngk plugs $20
Stealthmode oil line kit $50
dsm 450 blue tops $50
GSR Cable tranny (Came with swap)
Gripforce F1 stage 2 clutch $175
Fidanza 12lb flywheel $50
REVO short shifter $25
2.5" charge piping w/couplers and T-clamps $100
ES suspension ALL the way around the car $200
KYB struts $175
"High quality" eGay coil overs
$75
OBD1 LS distributor $100
Misc oil, coolant, and other crap $200

What I find is really cool is if you go to a HF store if you have one. They have the same metal zipties that like DEI and places like that sell to hold the header wrap for a few bucks for a huge pack of them. Nice setup though.

Re: First turbo project. Done. DA teg
sweet, i have an ls turbo too.
and i rock that manifold.
and it cracked a lot, just the supports off though. the runners havent cracked yet. make sure you reweld a ---- load of new braces if the ones on there fall off, just to save it. so far mine has been behaving for the 5k i have on it.
