Custom Turbo Kit Ingredients
I have been convinced that a Custom Turbo Kit is cheaper and better than a kit. These are the parts I have scrambled to come up with and would desire. Tell me what you think and what I am leaving out.
Turbo: Garret T3- $550
FMIC: JohnnyRaceCar.com- $200
BOV: Turbo XS Type-H RFL- $180
Exhaust Manifold: HKS- $150
Return Fuel System??? (what other fuel systems?)
Turbo Timer- HKS- $80
Clutch: ACT Performance- $330
Fuel Management: Greddy E-manage
Boost Controller- Greddy Spec 2 Profec B- $350
Is this everything i will need? Please PLEASE give advice on these items and tell me what else i would need. Thank you.

no problem, bob. you are also forgetting the wastegate and the gauges you will need to monitor boost pressure, oil, and air/fuel

Im pretty sure a HKS manifold will fit only a T25 flange....
^just what i was about to say, and also with the hks manifold you need an internal wastegate. Id say internal is fine for our cars, unless you're looking for some serious numbers. Thats my opinion tho!
id say just go with the hks and internal gate. Should be reliable enough aslong as the rod is sturdy. I also hear it is less hassle.
If you must have an external gate then go with rev hard or max rev. Altough the rev hard has a bad wastegate position on 6-7 lbs it shouldnt matter too much.
