So far my kit has cost:

new log manifold, used downpipe, slightly used .42/.48 t3, oil feed line - $285

dsm bov, dsm 450s - $80

new fmic, new charge piping/clamps - $200

Spent $565 so far but don't need too much more.

We checked all the big junkyards around here and you're lucky to find anything...

tell me about it man. I wasn't doing any ghetto ---- either, but damn. Everytime I tallied up my stuff, it came out to like 2k. I can't weld any of it, I don't have a welder, and I was almost buying everything new. Can you still call it homemade?

Not so Homemade... but I'm doing the same thing :P


I don't know how to weld (nor own a welder).... nor do I have any good tools, so I can't really fab anything myself.

the homemade part, I think, comes in the creativity of making something fit/work that wouldn't normally fit/work at any cost, and there have been some creative solutions here.

I love how you spent as much on your CATCH CAN as you did on your turbo... just seems weird, lol.
