on a $200 budget. ----, this is right up my ally.
1. crush bends and flex pipe. -all from autozone. probably $35 at most

2. who needs a DP?(tempary)

3. resistors. radio shack. $5

4. couplers, home-depot or lowes. (or stealthmode) they are in the plumbing section at $3 a peice, so you can figure from there. probably 6 or 7 of them, so ~$25 -the 2" ones are about 2.5" so those work perfect. you will still have to "jerry rig" something up to go into your throttle body

5. why not use the internal one? if all else fails, a good spring and some chain! ~$10 (again, temp.) hell you could be boosted this weekend!

I didnt even break the $100 mark
I like the way you think. I went to lowes and homo depot here, neither have couplers that work. THey have plastic ones in 1" 2" 3" 4" ect.. and the rubber ones are .5" to 1.75" and thats it. talk about gay. I was drunk when i was there, but i made sure to ask if they had anything else resembeling what i was looking for and they said no. Bitches

Oh, and the saab t3 has coolant hookups the cool the oil cartridge, but do i need to hook those up? or can i get away with not doing that? I have a turbo timer already? and if i could get away with not using them right now that would be nice.

if you have a welder you can make your downpipe easy as pie!!! get a chop saw or hack saw or cut off wheel or whatever and you can make whitty bends aswell. I welded my downpipe with a 110 arc welder with contaminated rods, works great

no need, coolant lines are designed to elimate the use of a turbo timer, so you are set. Just plug the holes tho

The 2" ones are plastic and not flexable. So i don't think that they are a option. I think i will just go with radiator hose from napa. As for the downpipe, do you think i should order one of the three bolt flange thinks that will bolt to the swing valve assembly and then just make a open dp the vents out the side of the front bumper?

the 3 bolt flangers are really annoying, but they work.
