Â*yea, i know you may say its a waste of money, but i'd be welding all the pipes and all exhaust myself I'd use stock turbos from say an eclipse or so, Â*I'd also fabrocate a sheet metal intake manifold for it and try to utilize dual throttle bodies(only having one electronically connected) It would also have custom exhaust manifolds to allow better flow. Â*I'd also upgrade the injectors some. Â*I dont care if i blow up the engine so i figure i'll just boost whatever i can, lol Â*i just think itl be an interesting project, something not too common.
If you can weld the headers and stuff yourself, Im sure that would save an assload of money on your part. But getting it to run properly could be the problem. Id say go for it, You have nothing to loose.
