Parting together a turbo kit, looks good so far. What all are you waiting on now? Turbo back exhaust?

Some panic motorsports business there, good luck with the rest. Keep us updated.

turbo Back exhaust, fuel pump, radiator, clutch, SS braided line for coolant, oil, and possibly fuel lines! i think thats what im lacking so far! O! and a intake pipe and filter for the compressor inlet!

Sean, you may get my turbo inlet pipe. That thing is too damn restrictive for my turbo, but I'll need it until I fab up something to match the inlet on the 2871.

My dad runs a shop up in South Carolina, I'll check and see what he has lying around you might need. He might have some good deals, I dunno. He's helping a buddy with his turbo/forged internals install as we speak.
