Its cool, but overkill if you ask me. For the amount of money you'll put into doing some crazy custom job like this, you could save up and buy a 3 rotor.

I wouldn't totally agree with this. Igy did this for less than your old single 62-1 setup Can others? Sure

How much did he spend on the turbo setup? I spent $2500 on the turbo setup. Then add in all the other fuel crap and other upgrades you need.



EDIT: I gave away all my receipts after I sold the car, but the total amount in the 3 years I owned it, after one blown motor, was about 16-18k. The 2k variation is for different setups and some labor cost too if memory serves me correct. AND I didn't have rims either. Thats more than I bought my new FD for.

yea, two used turbo's, 2 overhaul kits, used wastgate, couple of flanges, scrap pipe lying around the shop we got for free, bought a few peices of pipe, oil fittings lines etc.. I'd have to say it was way less than the 2.5k you spent on your set up. Only Igy can tell you how much he really spent, but I'd guess 1/2 of what you spent on your kit.

Well if he bought all the parts used, then I can see it being cheaper. Either way, fabbing your own kit is still going to be cheaper than any of these brand name kits for sale by a lot.
