Just by a kit! I put together a t-88 kit and you would be suprised how much the small stuff costs. The turbo, manifold and wastegate were all easy. It is when you get to fittings, oil lines, block off plates, and downpipe....... it gets expensive. Most of the smaller things you can't get used. I proably saved some money doing it that way, but I probaly spend as much gas driving around ordering the other stuff..

WOW!!!



$1200 for a used T78? how often do you see those? do you buy them from people in Japan and sell them to people on here? cause I'd be interested in a used T78 kit for $1000-$1500. Would there be any fitment problems for USDM cars?



Unfortunately, I cant get it right now cause I am upgrading the radiator on my car soon and I still need to get an Apexi PFC. When I am ready though, do you think I can hit you up for a used turbo kit for cheap?
