My Homemade Turbo Project...
Ok, after much thought... Ive decided to go the homemade route. I purchased a Talon intercooler off ebay for $30.50 after shipping:

I also have the stock hx/vx manifold with custom t25 flange:

I will purchase t25 turbo tomorrow (internal wastegate)
Im gonna buy a diy charge pipe kit (intercooler piping)
Im looking at 450cc injectors from turbo Eclipse:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DSM-4...spagenameZWDVW
chip and 450 injectors. http://phearable.net/epromchip.html can make custom chip for your application including larger injectors. $30
So im gonna get the chip from them, and soon after take it down to a dyno and get it tuned...
also getting 450cc injectors for $75... (fmu would be $100)
So w/ injectors, and chip Im only spending $110
My list:
misc gauges, missing link, bov, oil lines, flanges, custom downpipe, gaskets, oil pan tap...
Anything else
any suggestions
will injectors + chip work
Just need some advice, insight...
Ill be pushing no more than 5lbs boost.

dude a good majority of people on here are going to talk ---- to you about something. weather its your turbo or somthing else, someone will . but just do it and if its faster, witch it will be, than stock then its all money well spent. good luck with your build and good luck.

We'll see
get a good tune done and your can easily run about 12 psi through that turbo np. I ran 12 psi on my 14b for about 2 years never had any issues, untill that it is the seals on the turbo took at ---- lol.
