all turbos will need their own exhaust manifold. if ur pretty sure ur gonna go turbo (like me[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]), don't go out and buy a header then
don't buy an exhuast too. you will need larger piping depending on how much boost ur running. i am planning to do a custom turbo soon. 10 psi of boost. I have it all speced out. just need money now.
Check out my quote i got from a local tuner shop(CND funds).
Turbo kit parts list:
*please note, this is a custom built kit specific to this customers needs and fitment.
As such this quote contains upgradeable options for future changes. Prices are current and guaranteable for 30 days from quote.
Exhaust manifold (durable, cast) $600
*Copper gasket: $25
Turbo (stage 1):Turbonetics T3 super 60 (max. hp =280hp, f/b by 2700rpm) $1450
(Stg 2): Turbonetics T3/T4B (max hp=400, f/b by 4000rpm) $1500
Wastegate: (Turbonetics) $400
*I’m recommending the use of an external wastegate as it doesn’t really cost much more but it does allow more precise boost metering . This is important on a stock internal motor especially. The same wastegate would be used for either stage.
Downpipe: mild steel (coated) $250
*Stainless steel $350
Front mount intercooler: 24x3x8 Spearco core $900
*this intercooler is capable of cooling the charge temp up to about 400hp
Intercooler tubing: polished/painted aluminum $350
Chrome $500
Map sensor pressure relief valves: 2x$20
*or electronic pressure limiter (much neater and reliable) $160
FMU: $380
*Boost dependant ignition retard: $350+/-
*ignition wires $120
Miscellaneous fittings, hoses, etc $50+/-
*Exhaust: (custom built 3” Stainless steel) $800
*High performance 3” Catalytic converter $175
*Boost Gauge $50-150
*exhaust temp gauge $150-350
*A/F ratio gauge $70-100
Install and Tuning (incl. essential pieces) $1800
Oil change w/filter & synthetic oil (Motul) $50
Total without options $5970
Head/manifold porting $80 (incl valve grind, resurface)
Labour for re & re of cylinder head $350
New gasket set call dealer
ACT Clutch $800
Clutch Masters Stg III $750
Labour for clutch $350
Machine flywheel (remove excess weight) $140
Tranny fluid $15
Sway bars: currently N/A
*can upgrade to SIR specs when vehicle is introduced to Canada
Springs:
Tanabe (2” drop, sporty ride quality) $295
* I’ve decided to recommend these as they were the deepest drop avail. for your car aside from the coil overs. The quality of these springs are top notch.
Labour $200 + $50 for wheel alignment
Option 2
Ground control coil-overs $569
Labour $250
* ride quality will probably be a little better with these as the Tanabe’s are fairly stiff but handling qualities will be similar with both. Coilovers do require maintenance regularly as well.
Brakes:
Stage 1
Rotors (cross drilled) 2x$119
(slotted)
Hawk brake pads $109ea
Motul brake fluid $35
Labour $140
Stage 2: Complete kit
KVR 4-piston aluminum caliper w/stainless steel pistons
Slotted or cross-drilled 11.8” rotors avail. in gold, silver, or black
KVR Carbon fibre brake pads
Motul brake fluid
Total: $1285 + $200 install
*obviously this stage would stop the car as though you were hitting a wall, but other advantages include a 4lb weight savings of unsprung weight on each corner, reduced brake fade in spirited driving situations, better feed back and much longer pad life.

A large-pipe free-flowing exhaust like the GReddy EVO will suit your turbo application perfectly. Much better than something like the DC TCS... with all those twists and turns and multiple mufflers, I still can't picture how it is supposed to enhance exhaust flow (performance).
<< why not wait for the kit when it comes out? custom turbo..i wish i have the money ..keke. >>
i want to built a custom turbo specific to my needs. double the hp/tq, plus quick spool with stock internals. want to have it tunned conservitively, so the engine don't blow. also, want to run at least 13.5 on slicks @ a 3700 feet elevation. those are my goals, and i am budgeting $10,000-12,000 CND to do it all.
there is no possible way in earth you can do that, unless you are that they call magic, who gave you that idea, don't even think about it, its one of those, don't try it at home.....
let the pro's do it.... hehe good luck!

Why not!! If I had $6000 laying around I woulda had a turbo allready!! My friend can put a turbo on anything, he has one on his Mazda B2200 work truck, and his moped thing!! The guy is a einstien with PSI, its sweet! But ya, he quoted me about $6000 cdn for full kit tuned, everything, 210 HP at the flywheel he said, @ 9psi. Cool. I wish I had the $$!!!
