If You Had $600, What would be your boost setup?????
Hello fellow boost heads... I just bought my first car a couple months ago.
It is a Phantom Grey Pearl 95 Hatch.
I got it for 1000 cash with clean body and interior.
It is a single cam non vtec w/ 78,xxx,xxx original miles (bought from 12th grade art teacher)
I have already bought 4 new tires, black HX wheels w/ polished lip
Ground control coilovers
(plan to get some Omni's, not in a big hurry though)
Full KENWOOD system
EP3 seats (found them in a totaled EP3 on the side of the road!) 
SiR lip (OEM)
and mud flaps!!!! (JDM yo!)
So Far, I have 550- 600 dollars to spend, I've looking here and HT for about 4 hrs a day at school to try to think of a setup.
What would youy guys do for this price range? Remember its a DAILY DRIVER + Im in college.
So far Ive thought of this:
14b DSM Turbo (mabey something else T3/ T4?)
DSM blue tops
CCM Intercooler
Stealth Mode lines
Turbo excess BOV (got it for the rear EP3 seats)
stainless steel Charge pipes
All the gaskets and adapters
Black silicon couplers w/ T-Clamps
HF mani w/ heat tape
and some type of management (this is the hardest part no matter how much I read)
PLEASE DONT FLAME!!!!!!!!!!!! I just need some thoughts on what would be the best combo of parts.
Thanks in Advance, Hope to get some sick ideas off my fellow HMT'ers.
Feel free to post pics of your setup, or links to good sights (others than this sites sponsors)

Re: If You Had $600, What would be your boost setup?????
So far Ive thought of this:
14b DSM Turbo (mabey something else T3/ T4?) $?? $529 for T3/T04(new) @ boosted-hybrid.com
DSM blue tops $40 - 60
CCM Intercooler $100 - 160
Stealth Mode lines $85
Turbo excess BOV (got it for the rear EP3 seats) $Free
stainless steel Charge pipes $??
All the gaskets and adapters $?? OEM Gasket
Black silicon couplers w/ T-Clamps ??
HF mani w/ heat tape $160-230
and some type of management (this is the hardest part no matter how much I read) $??
It will take a bit more than $600 ish to meet that setup. Do some research and save your money, then get something you might find that's better. Also, it allows more deals/group buys to come your way so you get better deals.

Re: If You Had $600, What would be your boost setup?????
easy.
T25, adapter plate, cc intercooler (or other junkyard intercooler, but cc is pimp), dsm 450's, your bov, aluminized steel piping, couplers (either home depot, maybe silicon/tbolt if you have some extra cash), uberdata. Get a dp flange and make a dp using some aluminized steel and you should be all set to go.
Now, this could be done even cheaper.. you just gotta look around the junkyards.

Re: If You Had $600, What would be your boost setup?????
Thanks for all the quick replies, Im getting ideas.
I was planning to buy the pieces one by one for the cheapest price I could find.
EX. I see 14b's for like 40-60 bucks sometimes so I could just spend like 2-3 months completing the kit, It should be able to be done for around 550 I think just from adding up prices Ive seen in the for sale forums.
No, Im not from New Orleans, I just moved to Oklahoma about 2-3 months ago from the Maryland area.
Keep'em coming!!!!!!!!!

Re: If You Had $600, What would be your boost setup?????
By the way, what do guys think of my hatch, Im real proud of what Ive done so far. Keep in mind I got four brand new tires (plastic wraped &stickered) w/ my HX wheels for 250. then I stripped, painted, and polished the lip. I got mint EP3 floormats, and shift **** for free. The SiR lip was free ( had minor damage, but I saved it). Got my coilvers off my boys totaled integra for 60 bucks (no rust, fresh). Also got the four KENWOOD 6x9's for 50 bucks from his Integra. And lastly my teacher already had the kenwood head!!! So Ive spent 1250, including the car... I think this is the pimpest deal ever!! Its coming along very quickly, I got all this stuff in about 1 week. I just sold ome of my paintball equipment for 600. I plan on ordering vision ambers, alarm, Mugen loop replica exhuast ( saw it on here for 125 shipped, people loved it) VX or EG-6 Cluster AND.........BOOOOOOOOSSSSSTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get fancy with stuff though. No ss pipe, no heat wrap on the manifold. That stuff only adds to the expense and it's not 100% necessary.

If you wait, a good deal will always come along!
