TURBO, Buy a Kit or Build Your Own?
#26
I plan on building my own kit...
Only because a friend of mine is donating his FMIC with piping (for a 240, but I think I can at least use some of the piping), wastegate, and BOV to me.
I know I still need a ton of parts, but since I wasn't planning on going FI anytime soon, and these parts are going to be free... it'll help me get the other core parts faster.
I'm planning on getting the SFR manifold and DP... if they'll sell it to me seperately, which I think they will, cause I think they did that for someone here. As for the turbo itself... I'm not sure yet. I don't have a whole lotta knowledge on how to read compressor maps and whatnot, so I just might buy whatever unit SFR is using as well.
I don't plan on this all happening overnight or anything. Just whenever I have extra cash will I be collecting parts. Also, I don't plan on installing the kit immediately once it's complete. I'd like to get all the supporting mods also... i.e. ignition, clutch/flywheel, exhaust, fuel....
So I'm guessing by mid to end of summer I will be boosted.... Problem then.. is getting someone to come down to San Diego to tune it.
