i didn't have time to read through all the pages here, but has anyone successfully completed a diy turbo project and kept a resonable budget? i am pretty darn resourceful and have all the tubing available to me and welders, but for others, was it worth the savings? i got my greddy kit used w/ a 1000 miles from a member for dirt cheap, so maybe my comparison is skewed abit, as i know nothing could be built cheaper than what i paid.
i just watched the guys make a $6000 set of headers, lol. couldn't imagine theprice of turbos and intercooler etc. on top of that.

My header should olny cost somewhere in the realms of $500-600 as they are not complicated at all as there is no need to be.

Well I have been doing some research and I sould be able to make my turbo kit for somewhere around the neighborhood of $4-4.5K. I will be adding a built motor and some other things that would be standard upgrades for most who buy a kit (such as larger injectors and UTEC).
