exactly, I don't need pulleys, I don't need a BOV, so thats just wasted money.

Now If I buy turbo/manifold/wastegate seperate, it should just bolt up correct. I would just have to get oil lines made right? Oh and what about a downpipe?. I have no problem doing all the work, been a mechanice for 9 years, I'm just a bit on the newbie side when it comes to building up a turbo system https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

Yeah, oil lines and a downpipe are all you'll need to make. -4 AN for the oil feed and -10 AN for the return will be good. The downpipe should be easy for you to make. You'll just need a good chopsaw and a welder. If you go with a Turbonetics turbo they have the oil return and drain flanges, as well as the downpipe flanges. You can also go with a v-band clamp, which will allow you to avoid a 3 or 4 bolt flange, BUT I prefer the flanges with the bolts.
