cf hood for turbo?

[whitecoupe91]

Do you guys think it would be worth trading my VIS cf hood for a DSM 14b turbo, turbo manifold, injectors, blowoff valve and smic?

As long as all those piece are in good working order I'd trade. Although, I'm not a big fan of CF hoods..

i dunno about that SMIC. that's probably a bit small for the 14b on our cars. the 14b itself is fairly small, and small turbos give off a lot of heat. so you're gonna want to get a FMIC if you plan on using these parts.

and it depends on the condition of your hood. how new is it? any cracks or any other damage?

I have a small fmic ,12"x12"x3" thats the measurements of the actual core. He is just throwing in the smic. The hood has some cracks in the front part above the grill where people have pushed too hard to close it and it does have some scratches on it.

how much is your hood worth to you? I'd say those dsm parts could be had for between $200-$250. If your hood is worth more or less to you then that, it should give you your answer.It also depends how much your time is worth for searching for deals and finding the parts but those pieces are usually in every other for sale thread.

14b GOOD CONDITION(None to very little shaft play)-$100-$150
Mani with no cracks - $30-$50
Injectors- $40-$75
BOV w/o pipe and flange-$15........w/ pipe and flange-$25-$60
SMIC-$15-$50

This is just a break down of how much those parts usually go for with a little range in them. Give or take $5 each way.
