SAAB Turbo?

okay, so what you are going to need is a saab t3 turbo, you can find them commonly in junkyards. if it has a wastegate, go ahead and take that off. wastegates are for noobs. once you have that go ahead and buy the ssautochrome manifold from ebay. That guy makes really good stuff and his welding skills are very up to par. If you want to be cheap, skip the intercooler and blow off valve, it will make your car super incognito and no one will know because you don't have a front mount intercooler or that cool "woosh" noise. for fuel management i would suggest an fmu, they are only about 100 bucks and they automatically adjust so that you have a perfect 8:1 afr. and you will need a downpipe from your turbo to the exhaust, and ssautochrome also carries those, and are also flawlessly manufactured. and thats about all you'll need, and you'll be boosting in no time.

The best you can do is search more in this forum and most important is to get some real-cheap engine management as a chipped ecu + bigger inyectors (dsm 450cc are a nice opcion)

About turbo is OK, and i suggest to stay internally gated to make it cheap, about no intercooler and no blow off... mmmm i am not that shure because saab wastegate are set to 8psi and are going to flow hot air that is not good, and without blow off you could damage more your used turbo, and for engine management get away of that FMU... they are expensive trash that makes blown engines easily and needs a missing links to make the car works decent.

I already have a chipped ECU to tune with, and can get ahold of a SAAB T3,
I think I might go ahead and grab a intercooler and BOV as suggested.
Just making sure that its not a waste of time to use a SAAB T3 or should I go for a bigger turbo?
Thanks
