To do a decent turbo kit expect to go for like $1k. That is assuming that you do all the fab at no cost.

I suppose you could do $400 if you founf everything slowly getting great deals on stuff and finding junkyard parts, but not from eBay.

+1 yup yup... ----, when i UPGRADED to a bigger turbo, went from T25 to Holset HY-35, we rewelded my shitty weld-el mani for the T3 flange, probably ended up spending $700ish to upgrade alone...

TiAL 38mm gate = $190
HY-35 = $241
Racing solutions ---- for DP and new hot side piping = i dunno $100
Decent magnaflow muffler and summit resonator = $65ish
38mm wastegate gaskets and flanges, T3 flange, adapter fittings so i could use my current stainless lines, couplers, 4" vband ---- for my downpipe... it all ------ adds up... get a rope.

ok well maybe i should state my goals a little better.

I have a d15b2 mpfi swap with z6 IM, si cam, AEM cai, hdr,; u kno a proven setup... its putting down 120-125whp

this car isnt going to last forever but I want to have some fun before its gone...and I always wanted to go turbo, but my goals are modest.

I only want about 6psi of boost
I could forgo a BOV to keep cost down, and run no intercooler

all the fab work can be done by my brother (except the dwnpipe)

Now, tell me a good mani, turbo, etc for these goals...

My injectors are peak/hold a6 injectors (240cc), brand new fuel pump...

this is HMT, so i figured a 400 dollar turbo setup would b doable....

Re: is this a good deal or not, be honest, im new to this
 

the d15b2 is a proven setup? holy crap i didn't know that the dualpoint pos motor was good for anything except sitting in the garage collecting dust.
also how do you know it's putting down that much hp?
why can you brother do all the fab work except the downpipe? is the downpipe different then the other fab work?
you ask what a good manifold for your goals are but you don't tell us your goals.
i say a 14b turbo, hf manifold w/adapter, a 1g dsm bov,dsm or vw side mount, ching chong wg, some bluetops, and a basemap from steve.
make your own downpipes and other pipes you need. you can get your flanges through our sponsors

i have a audi side mount you can buy $55+shipping, i might have a 14b, hf manifold and adapter plate for sale also.
you are welcome, now search before you post.

Where's hotrex when you need him?

Re: is this a good deal or not, be honest, im new to this
 

wow u guys are harsh

also its not dual point, I converted it over to MPFI, its running the pm6 ecu

and si cam 2 degrees retarded, the whp is estimates from similiar setups and are modest... 120whp...

the car is definetly quick, Im running the si tranny. Pulls great right upto 7200rpm. Ive beaten b16 coupes, then i told the guy its a sohc, and he wouldnt believe me...

Re: is this a good deal or not, be honest, im new to this
 

ah and my goals are

a torquey setup, low end power, 6-8 psi would be good... Id be happy getting it to run 14s, Im more interested in torque right now.

I know the only way to achieve it, is with boost.

Re: is this a good deal or not, be honest, im new to this
 

you still have the dual point motor, you just don't have the dual point stuff anymore. you didn't change the motor at all.
