Default Thinking of changing my mind on turbo.

I am thinking of chaning my mind here h:
I am thinking of not getting my full race manifold and buying a HKS turbo manifold and a T25 Garrett turbocharger untill i can afford the engine rebuild.

Its a d16y8
Current setup is N/A
I got all my turbo parts - the manifold, and i want to get a new waste gate.
SO i was like, 1 grand for the manifold. 250 for the wastegate....
Or 250 for the manifold and 250 for the turbo ....
And i also dont like my turbo so i was going to get a new one anyway ... I think ...
F^CK ME.

Full race seems a little overkill on a stock d16. Gains wont be worth the price with your current setup and there are plenty of manifolds that will work just as well for less. I'd go with some t3 turbo manifold and run a sc50, hondata, some 440's or 550's and tune it right.

Its gonna blow, thats what happens. Might as well have fun while it lasts.

why they heck would you spend 1100 bucks on a full race manifold!!
sure they look awesome and perform well... but its extremly un economical

get yourself a T3 log manifold from www.bmcrace.com (175 bucks) and then get a T3 super 60 turbo
