Turbo help

Anyone know any twin turbo kits that are well made, but not the price tag of a Banks or Wrenchrat?

Re: Turbo help

You can make your own. Headers and turbos will be very speedy though. You will want some thick stainless headers. When you buy a kit your not just buying the parts but all the effort and research to make a good power building upgrade.

There's cheap kits like what eBay has then the good stuff. Middle of the road stuff will take some hard looking

Re: Turbo help

There's a lot of room under the hood you could easily go with a universal fit turbo kit

orrr check this place out

Or make your own using oe truck manifolds, buy a t4 flange off ebay grab some piping cut it up weld it up, thats your cheapest way for just the bare essentials.

Re: Turbo help

I wouldn't trust a ebay kit most of the cheap ones the turbo is glued together.A single turbo is easy get a set of shorty headers turn them around mount the turbo in front of the engine and run the piping.
