Nice I have three BLM gauges that I haven't installed yet. I was thinking about selling them on here and purchasing DEFI gauges. But I think I may keep em now.

how much did the custom setup cost you...only including the parts needed to build the custom turbo setup...because i would love to go turbo and ive been debating for a while now whether or not a custom setup would be cheaper because i dont exactly have a job where i can drop 4500 on a turbo setup you know.

Well with the engine components and intercooler it was probably around 3 grand with isntalation and all. I chose to buy some stuff which was top of the line but you dont have to go that route, so i meen it was'nt to bad i spent close to 4g's on my whole custom set up, pics will be up this weekend

soo if you decide not to go with the "top end" stuff you could probably get away with sayyy 2.5/2.7 g's???

i gues si meen the most expensive thing your gonna buy is your ecu, i would go with RRM's stuff but there turbo piggy back, 5th injector kit and fuel pump ran me 1,100 but i meen other then that your manifold will be expensive to have custom make other hten that you can get used stuff and make it work, some of my stuff is used.

nice to see more Turbo Ralliart's, as for the ECU i was running the Megasquirt system, but i removed it and i am now running the Split-Second FTC1 controller, so is has been the best unit for my setup, good luck with your install, let us know the final numbers

well the unit i have is the Split second unit, i have the FTC1 unit, so far it's working really well so far, it has alot of potential a and it allows you to keep your stock ECU
