Also thanx for posting the links to where u got us stuff from, I've been searching for weeks for a 3" exhaust for my hatch. Good work guys keep it up.

The material for the manifold was about $75. I used the d-series header flange and T3 turbo flange from BMC Racing and those were $40. I bought a bag of 90 degree schedule 40 stainless steel elbows from a local piping store in my town for $4 each. I also picked up some straight pipe for $4.50 a foot.

Re:HomeMadeTurbo installed... ::PICS::

I bought the intercooler for $220 shipped in one of the first tyrus group buys a while ago. He was having a special sale during the holidays for $190 shipped.

I unplugged the coolant temp sensor and plugged it into an extra sensor I had laying around, then I just let it hang in the engine bay. It tricks the car into thinking it's cold so it runs full rich all the time. This is just temporary until I get get my ECU chipped and DSM 450's installed.
