Question turbo questions?

so ive been planing on going turbo on my 90gt. ive been thinking of piecing a kit together, like buying the turbo, flipping shorty headers, and buying a fmic. so what do you think ford tech should i build or buy a kit. i have a welder and all the tools... well everything but a tubing bender.

Buy a kit. Matt is right. When I did mine it was "nickel and dime you to death." Now it is $20 and $50 you to death. There too much little shit you have to get right.

I've got a hotside for sale, just needs the headers welded. $150. Buy that! Got an inexpensive (but very large) FMIC good to 1000HP, brand new in the box, too. Hell, I've got a Tial knockoff BOV I'll sell you for the setup, too. Why bother hacking shit together when you can just pick up second hand and knockoff parts that work well for a budget build?

im building my kit, but i get whole sale prices on flanges and piping. my hot side is going to cost me about 150 but it will be the best stuff v ban clamps stainless steel { maybe} the flange to connect the turbo will cost 80 by it self.
