Best starter Turbo Kit
dude those estimates are way high...i got my turbo for 100 (14b) they go for 150 all day on dsmtrader.com
i got my 1g DSM bov for 40 shipped w/ the hard pipe, they go for 50 all day on the same site. also, you dont really need a wastegate...if you have an LS you can run the stock 8 psi on the 14b wastegate, or bend the actuator arm to run only 5-6 psi on the 14b. starion IC's are pretty good for honda setups. i got mine for 100, i wouldnt have paid over 175 or so. manifold is about right. you can get your U bends from jcwhitney.com for pretty damn cheap. pick up the couplers and shit from your local hardware store. also, you are missing your fuel managment. you can get a 255lph walbro for around 100 shipped. im running DSM 450cc injectors, got those for 50 shipped. got my resistor box to run them for 20 bux shipped. and im using an SMC to idle them, that was 50 bux. a lot of people prefer doing the AFC hack though. they run around 200 used. also, you are probably going to need an adapter plate for the manifold you buy...unless you buy one flanged for your turbo already. you can usually find B series manifolds up the ass flanged for t3's...and you can usually pick up t3's for 150-200 on ebay. homemadeturbo.com sells 'em cheap too usually. just dont buy a t3 w/ a .42 compressor/.48 exhuast housing. it's one of the smallest t3's you can buy and the flange on the exhaust housing isnt a standard t3 flange.

for your turbo you can got to www.cheapturbo.com. they have the best prices.
but if you want to find part by part. go to www.honda-tech.com.
I basically buy everything from there. they have a classifieds, Forced Induction classifieds, and a best buys forum for all the great deals and group buys. just search through the FI classifieds and best buys forums and youll find everything you need. you can also learn everything there is to know about Forced induction in the FI forums. it will be moe helpful than here. good luck.
I accept your apology now if you don't have anything to say that will help me out just dont say it. All I wanted to know what was a good turbo kit to start off with. Something that has a potential to get me in the low to mid 13's. Maybe I worded it wrong but who fucking cares.
