can it be this easy to make a "custom" turbo kit?

can i get a copy of that, should be interesting to look at and see what all i'm missing from the original post. I know there are a few things missing from the OP and i know that in order to make a good system low compression pistons, upgraded connecting rods, turbo timer, quality blow off valves, and probably an upgraded fuel system as well.

Ill post as soon as I get home, it was made with ebay stuff mostly. No engine rebuild.

Couldn't find the final version, but will look for it. (it wasn't completed though)

What is your over all goal? This is the first and foremost question to be asked.

The two most important things in a turbo kit, is the turbo and manifold. Expect to replace the Ebay turbo often. That particular size turbo won't bolt to the micro image manifold anyways. There is no easy/cheap way to boost a car properly, If you go that route expect much headache. At the shop I work at, I can't count how many times a customer brings us an $800 kit and leaves with a $ 5000+ bill.
