New to Turbo Systems, HELP

Hey guys, I am recently considering putting a turbo system into my 2004 rx8. I have found a few systems that I am looking to put into my car. What are some of your suggestions without draining my entire bank account. Also, on all of the kits I am looking at it says the only thing I need to complete the system is a manifold, downpipe, and injectors. I need help as to where to find manifold and a downpipe for a reasonable price, I have looked all over the internet and I can't find any answers. Thanks for all your help!

first thing I recommend is taking about 3 months and searching and learning about turbo's and FI in general if you don't know about it...there is plenty of info out there....

what kit's are you looking out(please don't let him say ebay....please don't let him say ebay)...there are plenty of kit out there but be prepared to spend 5000 at the LEAST for a kit guages, extra things you need...(get the AP throw the trash piggyback out) and tuning...

There is a second hand greddy kit for sale on this site right now .
Buy that , then send the turbo to BNR for an upgrade . Then PM CRH and see if he will install it for you .
That will give you more bang for buck than you ever dreamed possible

Or - spend 2 months researching all things turbo for the 8 and end up with the same conclusion reached above


Edit : forgot about option 3 which is buy the Ebay kit you are looking at .Then you can sit back and look at the bargain you scored comfortable in the knowledge that it wont fit which is just as well because if you ever did manage to cobble it together the turbo and most likely your motor would be toast shortly thereafter .
