I would just pay the difference and get a ETS turbo kit or buschur or ams. They include every single thing you will need. and ETS just dropped a new very in-expensive turbo kit

Why is it the wrong way, can you explain

i am also thinking about switch to the BB SC61 is $200 more

I would stwich to the BB and go T3, and switch the manifold the the slowboy racing T3 manifold which is $200 less, that would really help with spool up

Your best bang for the buck for 3k, would to get a used tubular ams or buschur kit. I seen some guy selling an ams kit for 2800 i believe like a week ago or just spend 3500 for a new hta cast manifold kit and sell ur stock ix set up for 500 or so.

i would be doing the labor, the reason i am not buying a kit is because i'm inclulding the cams for basically the same price, so the 5whp more i would get with a kit already put together would be 30-50whp more with cams, because i have none now

i'm open for help with this, just tell me why you guys think a certain way.

And i'm not going to lie i am going out on a limb and trying new things, i thought the more aggressive cam will help with spool and top end and trap speed.

cams are not going to give you the power they will mostly help with the shift in the power band and make it more useful.

Most are only rated to 520hp, i don't want to push the turbo to the limit of it capabilities, but i want it to work with out being over worked.

cams don't make power, but you are right the cam with make it breath better allowing me to make more with them as oppose to the stock one.

but my point is if i can have turbo kit and no cams or injectors for 2700, opposed to a turbo kit with cams and larger injectors for basically the same price, why not do it.

Although I can appriciate you taking the time to try to re-invent the wheel and be original there are many flaws in your plan.

1) No wastegate factored into price
2) You have a T3 hotside and a T4 flanged manifold
3) You have a dumptube for a full race manifold and are going to use a DNP manifold
4) You don't know about clearance issues with the turbo, manifold, and turbo outlet (o2)
5) You don't have a slimfan incorporated
6) You don't have oil + water lines with the necessary adapters
7) You don't mention if the hafe o2 housing meets upto the 5 bolt precision housing
8) You don't know if that particular manifold with that precision hotside (not all 5 bolt turbine housings are the same) and that o2 housing will leave the same location for the stock downpipe as you don't have the hafe manifold which it was designed for
9) Those cams are for race cars that have headwork


There is a reason people buy kits, you are walking into a big headache.
