every time i read a turbo thread i get all teary eyed cause i am at the stage where im on the fence about to fall off either side. do i contiune? or do i sell my shit? Turbo i have needs a rebuild and log manifold needs to be ported cause its restrictive just by looking at it. I dont have an ecu, dont have any charge pipes, no oil lines, no bov, no intercooler. i dunno, i really want to do it though...

Store.racing-solutions.org has a charge pipe kit for 50$. Just gotta mock up and weld everything yourself. Oil lines are 80$ from stealthmodeperformance.com, a 1G dsm bov is like 40$ on ebay, an intercooler can range from 10-150$ on ebay.
Before the turbo problem arose I did my whole kit for 850$. I replaced the manifold, turbo, and wastegate and the total came to 1049$. That's for everything. Every nut, bolt, washer, vacuum hose.

Im just discourraged due to not having another vehicle to drive while im working on it plus i ran out of money because i had to pay for school. so right now i just need to get motivated again so next summer i can get this shit done. by then though my car will likely have close to 190k on it. so i dunno
