My Homemade Turbo Project...
If you happen to run into a cheap used greddy mani, you might be better off than with HF+Adapter. I got mine for cheaper than HF+mani and I get to keep A/C and power steering.
Dunno if it flows any better though...

not sure if its the right one, but thats the idea... Im gonna cut the end off an old header, and use it for the adaptor to the cat. and run a piece of this inline:

im worried that it says Internal Wastegate @ 12 - 16 Psi
If that is true on mine, Can I get a spring kit to fix that

ok, found this:

5.8 lb spring. Doesn't say what brand its for, but im assuming its generic
(fit any turbo)
