WOW man its totally no where near that!!! Who quoted you that!!?? When i priced it up it was around 3-4k. But ill match RRM's price for party that i want a certain way.

Motorsports Engineering (ME) makes the DP and Tubular manifold for any turbo flange for $800. Piece together your kit, dont but a kit from a shop or have them do the whole work. They charge that so they can make money on top!! Labor wise you can do most of that all yourself as well.





Regarding the Original Topic, Evo 3 16g, or t3/t4 set up like turbokits.com.
Maybe MTC Billet TD05?? http://shop.midwestturboconnection.c...illet-TD05.htm

I understand what you are saying, but in reality, the difference between 14b and 16g at such low air flow levels is very minor. 14b starts to run out of steam around 280-290hp, so anything under 250hp will give your nothing but 300-400rpm of turbo lag .

The real problem with 14b is finding a good specimen! But if you have it, keep it!
