DIY Turbo component sourcing thread!

Thanks

I do want to point out that you could do it cheaper.
Second hand parts, doing it over a long time and getting bargains.
Buying cheaper parts.
But I'm impatient and I ended up going a little more ballsy than intended.

Your doing it right the first time.
Probably going to make as much power as mine does with less weight.
I am looking forward to it almost as much as you are.

My biggest advice to anyone on this is preparation. The sevens "P"s apply to this quite a lot I think. Especially if you want to minimise the amount of time the car is off the road. If I did this again I would comfortably book in for exhaust and mapping within days of starting the build phase. And once again that's purely to info and knowledge ive squeezed out of club members.
Thank you all.

I just hope it doesn't blow up on the Dyno.

But Scott you get the v6 "warble", and that is priceless. (Not to mention more torque than a tractor!)
