Tabaka Build
I need to stop spending money on aesthetics and give this tank some GO! I'm not going to do any damage at race wars with my current set up.

This post is exactly what i want to do. Give it the looks and then some go. I think i'd rather be more happy with the 400-450hp range. I know the w58 is at it's limits their but i figure if you just drive it normal and push it barely you should be good. Please post up with what your list and setups are!
Driftmotion has a pretty sweet deal on the turbo kit but most of it isn't well known names, Dave H has a pretty good turbo kit as well but whenever i email him it's a "no response probably to busy" type of deal. The only thing that i've seen that comes complete with brand name parts was boostlogic turbo kit. but that's $4k. =(

$4,000 on this jap sled....sheeeiitttt, the Tabaka wife would take alimony!
Going to update page 1, but I think this is a semi-accurate cost estimate.
Borg Warner Turbo: $800 (new'ish/rebuilt)
Manifold: $500 (new)
3" downpipe: $100
Clutch and Pressure plate: $400 (new)
440 Injectors: $120
Wastegate: Tial - $250
BOV: $80
Intercooler kit: $300'ish
GTE ECU: $120*
Coil packs: $350*
SC4 MAF: $90
various gaskets and oil feed lines: $100
*Ali GTE ECU Mod thread
Parts cost: $3,210 (Way over budget)
Labor and assistance: ???? (going to assume $750?)
Looking at almost $4,000 which is not going to work unfortunately. Maybe this build is a pipe dream. I'm not sure how you guys do it. I have a mortgage, utilities, work a middle class job etc. Just seems like a lot of money for crappy 350hp. Anyone else have better ideas? Maybe a $1,500 - $2,000 1J/2JZ-GTE swap with twins is the way to go?
I know the term pay to play, been doing it all my life.

Honestly, for your goals and budget, get the XSpower kit and just get a few dif items in it.
I ran it just like it comes, except i made my own feed and return lines. I made the stats in my sig on GE ecu with an SAFC thru an auto and had ZERO drivability issues. ALi has seen my handy work... And aside from being in the I hate AEM club, and almost selling or parting my car, Im now gonna run an aristo ecu and just try to enjoy my car again.

This was my first build thread. Aside from some time spent double and triple checking everything, it went sort of smooth. I spent just about 1500 on the whole kit, plus some electronics which i think left me just shy of 2k.
My second build has been WAY MORE expensive... LOL
