Question turbo kit set, or turbo kit custom?

what do you guys think is more inexpensive, a turbo kit bought in a complete set or a custom turbo kit with each part bought separate? cuz i wanna noe what all i need to get in a turbo kit to make it work. see if i buy a custom kit then i wouldnt get tha instructions to install tha parts. but if i bought a complete set then instructions would be included u noe. hmmm got any ideas or helpful sites?

If you know what you are doing and have the resources, custom would be the way to go... Definitely cheaper... But if you do not know what you are doing, and what all is needed to make it work, than a complete set would be better... Quick and Easy, it'll bolt up and you're good to go, just get a tune... But with a custom, there can be a lot of trail and error...

look into A2 designs turbo. its abou 2500. which is the cheapest around i think. It looks really good, but no one has had the chance to try it yet (still fairly new) you could be the guinea pig. lol

maybe consider starting with a non intercooled setup just to get started and custom the intercooler and other fuel parts later down the line.

If you have the know how and the skill, definitely custom. If you're hestitant about any step, go for a prefab kit. While you could make a custom kit for cheaper, if you don't know what you're doing, it could cost you more in the long run what with repairs and such.
