If you already have the "piping", make your own!

Or if you can't make your own Mazsport and PTP both sell them individually, you just have to ask.

^yup

im thinking you have universal piping since you can't really pick it until you have a manifold for a set turbo placement.

Or maybe he stole the piping from another turbo 8 and didn't have enough time to get the manifold and turbo off.

I have an OBX header at the moment installed on my car. and the OEM header is sitting around. I really liked how you Hacked the OEM for your turbo. I have some friends who are really great at welding, saved my butt when installing my exhaust. But, I'm still pretty much an amataur. I can just forsee myself screwing up the OEM (cutting it wrong, Screwy welds). and I forsee boost leaks in the future

So far, I haven't brought my car to anyone for installs. I painted it myself, Fabricated the inside electronics myself, and installed the exhaust myself. So, I'm really trying to learn as much as I can about FI. I've been reading all I can get my hands on here, which has helped me Immensly. Most of it written by you

Just wanted to say I appreciate it!

This is what I have, I was given some universal piping/intercooler/bov as a "gift" by a friend.
So far, have the Greddy ultimate, piping, intercooler, bov, and intake. working on getting manifold, turbo, boost controller, oil lines. and misc extras. then after I get it all together, see where I stand, and what else i'll need. and yes, I realize universal piping etc is crap, and I'm sure i'm going to be dropping a whole ton more money on stuff. I don't want to half *** it... but I don't want to just buy a greddy kit and have the turbo die out on me after 3000 miles. this is why i'm trying to pick up stuff in peices. planning on working and learning about it over the winter. have another daily driver vehical. I'm absolutly positive i'm going to run into problems. that's why I gave myself 4-5 months to work on it.
