Rep Power: 0 well ok you said you only paid 1,600 for it. But what did you do for the problem with our fuel system setup. You have to have a return fuel line. Did you do a standalone fuel management system like Haltech F5 or Greddy? And how much did that custom turbo manifold cost you. I'm just curious because i'm lookin into a setup and they told me about 3g's for everything. So please explain this to me?

Rep Power: 0 all i can say is TOLD YA!!! a lot of u newbs said there is no way u can find a cheaper turbo than $2500 or something!! i told everyone it was bullshit and it is!!! go to the parts trader, buy a turbo kit for like $1200 and pay a little extra to install and get the fuel management set up correctly!
