Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
t3/t4e - 200
equal length mani - 200 (special price)
custom intake manifold - 200
zdyne w/nitrous control - 850
460cc injectors - 65
spearco core ic - 160
turbo xs rfl - 100
zex kit - 500
charge pipe, gauge pod, silicon hose, hose clamps, exhaust flanges, exh flexpipe, exh pipe - 300
oil lines and oil press gauge - 130
a/f gauge, boost gauge - 80
full 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust w/muffler - 250
total: $3035
i got the hookup on a lot of parts but i still spent a lot (too much). i got my stereo stolen so i had a fat insurance check to spend. i think i'm pretty much done buyin stuff, now i gotta do the install. i might sell the nitrous kit to buy a turbo xs electronic boost controller and some other stuff.
but you said cheap so:
hf manifold and adaptor plate - $100
fmu - $80
dsm turbo from junkyard - $0 - (throw it over the fence)
oil lines, drain and fittings from autozone - $50
boost gauge off ebay - $20
downpipe made at exhaust shop - $50
charge pipe made from radiator hose or dsm charge pipes - $50
total: $350
its non intercooled, has a shitty exhaust manifold, no bov, and has almost no fuel management (hmm sounds like the greddy kit) but its a turbo kit and will work for 5 to 7 psi. (good for 40-50hp)

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
Sorry buddy but im from australia.So i cant help u there but it cost $110 aus for a basic rebuild kit no prop's or shaft just seal's and o rings.Also u the guy that got done over with the manifold yeah.U could have still used that manifold as a couple of ppl in the homemadeturbo site have,just turbo hangs alot lower to the ground.Also ill give $100 aus for the 02 if its not damaged.

Re:whats your cheapist turbo setup
you could do it for free if you did it right. bust into a junk yard and yank a turbo. steal an fmu some where. dig up some pvc pipe. "borrow" some duct tape from a friend or neighbor. while you were at the junk yard get an hf manifold. use someone elses drill to put holes in the turbo or manifold to make it work right. I'm pretty sure that's all you need to be turbo. its no beauty queen but it will give you a few more horses until your car explodes.
