    So what would be a good price then on these two parts because I'll be needing a specific price on things so I can start my turbo project during summer.

    ya the turbo manifold is my main concern. Thats what keeping back on this project. Then some job issues I need to attend to before I start the project in the summer. The other stuff I can get easily and piping is no biggy.

    Turbo and Manifold...

    I was looking around ebay and I found this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...ssPageName=WDVW
    Its a Turbo charger with the manifold. Its the esential part to turbo a car and it looks like a good price. Tell me what you guys think of the setup.

    looks good...but i'm not big on log manifolds...just to blah if u ask me...i'd go for more of a tubular design for better airflow and proper looks...might cost a lil more, but will definately be worth it

    I would probably stay clear of any turbo purchase that includes the words "as is". This means the seller is not willing to give any type of gurantee the product works. Even if the guarantee is only for 3 months it is a stand behind the product being sold. You could also get a turbo (T3/T4) for about $250 - $300 and get a intake manifold for about $200. So you could get away with the same type of deal for anywhere between $450 - $500. Been there done that.
