My Turbo!!! Options

[94celicaguy]

just wanted to tell everyone how my project was moving along. i did have a t3 turbo, but just bought a kkk k24 turbo with t3 flange. got rid of my hks ssqv bov and got a pierburg bov. i am told that it is 4 times louder than the hks. starting on my manifold this weekend. i decided just to keep my exhaust manifold, cut it and weld a turbo flange onto it. save me a few hundred dollars. bought spearco intercooler. got my turboxs manual boost controller. i just need to get my fmu and start goin at it. i will have pics up when i get it done. estimated total price= $600.

yeah, be careful with the stock exhaust mani. it's not meant to hold boost, and especially if you compromise the structural integrity by cutting and welding onto a place that's not meant to be changed. i'm not doubting your skill as a welder, i'm sure you can do a lot better than i can, but i won't be surprised when your manifold blows if you try and boost over like 5 psi.

you also need oil lines, did you get those? and if you don't upgrade the injectors, you will run waaaaay lean over 5 psi, that's about all the stock injectors can handle.
