Default buying a turbo kit :-)

my buddy is upgrading, so that = cheap parts for me

long story short im getting
- drag manifold
- turbonetics t3/t04e 50 trim turbo
- turbonetics deltagate wastegate
- turbo XS ball and spring boost controller

all this for $600. i think its a deal because it basically takes care of most of the main components and the price is right, the turbo only has about 7000 miles since it was rebuilt and is great condition. i plan on upgrading to a tial after i run the deltagate for a while cause i just dont trust the deltagate, cause they have a tendancy to creep and blow up motors (happened to 3 people i know on various cars). but i plan on tunning DSM injectiors with crome being that my ECU is already socketed and a walbro 255. as for an intercooler i will prolly buy the ssautocrome kit off ebay that comes with piping, unless i can find a deal on a used one from someone local and have piping made. havent decided on a blow of valve yet but it wont be an RFL (everybody and their mother has it around here). mos likely it will be a greddy type S, RS, blitz super sounder or a HKS super sequential

basically i'll have about 1500 into it after its all said and done and that is still cheaper than the GSR motor i was gonna buy and build my LS bottom end than swap heads. and i'll be faster, but a bandwagoner (at least around here )

just thought id share
