OP, use the search button on the forum and/or google...and pick up the damn phone and call a shop for an actual quote to have the work done.

from my experience you should plan on adding approximately 25% of the cost of equipment and labor for extras and unexpected cost.

now go search dammit!!

If you two wanna turn yourselves into a greasy spot on a country road somewhere, go right ahead. I don't give a **** and I don't think anybody else does, regardless what they say to your face. But you two monkeys are not going to do it on my racetrack. Now y'all heard of a "Japanese Inspection?" Japanese Inpsection, you see, when the Japs get in a load of lettuce they're not sure they wanna let in the country, why they'll just let it sit there on the dock 'til they get good and ready to look at. But then of course, it's all gone rotten... ain't nothing left to inspect. You see, lettuce is a perishable item... like you two monkeys. You trade paint one more time, you so much as touch, I'm gonna Black Flag the two of you, and take apart your racecars for three-hundred laps. Then, if you pass inspection and you put your cars back together, I might let you back into the race. Now, just to show there's no hard feelings we're all gonna go out to dinner together.

Duct tape has been by far the most reasonable suggestion in this thread so far.

OP jump on ebay and get a cheap kit. you don't need all the extra **** the vendors here try to sell you. It all comes from the same place anyway. Buy an ebay chinese turbo and some piping. Then with your duct tape you seal all the joints. I know it won't look the same but believe me it works great and actually seals better than those stupid silicone couplers that come with the more expensive kits.

Feel free to PM me if you have more questions. I've done this a bunch of times out of my shop in jersey. I also accept paypal for my consultation fees. Of course you will have to send it as a gift so I can be sure this isn't a scam.

Good luck man. I have a feeling your Z will be amazing when you're done.
