silicone hose connectors - $50-75
DSM 450cc injectors - $50
injector o-ring kit - $8 each...u can reuse your current ones if they are still good
t3/t04e Turbo
Downpipe with 5 bolt flange - $150 total i'd say
Custom air intake - Hacked up my old intake ($20 worth of aluminum piping)
chipped p06 ecu - $70 (total)
turbo timer - $50

wow i didn't know u needed that many gasket.

and is the chipped p06 ecu needed? or can i use stock ecu with Safc?

and do diffrent types of turbo (t25 or 16g, etc) need diffrent exhaust manifold ?

thx!

u can use whatever you want for fuel management. Chipped ecu was my choice

1G dsm manifold fits - 14b, 13G, 16G, 18G, and 20G i believe
2G dsm manifold fits - T-25...unsure of others

Please correct if i'm wrong

how did you make a boost controller? And the 1st gen DSM manifold should fit the t25, right?

I didn't make my boost controller i bought it

and the flange for the t-25 is different from the 14b so it won't fit unless u get an adapter plate

Yeah it got screwed up. I will when i get a chance... thanks =)

are t bolt clamps ABSOLUTELY necessary? running 10 psi. what about turbo timer if i plan on running coolant lines through turbo. 14B

[MRX]

hose clamps will do but t-clamps almost insure no hoses will be popping off. Theres no real need to run a turbo timer if u have the coolant lines hooked up. But still take it easy on the car when u know your about to shut the engine off.
