^that is the turbo my friend recomended to me. hmm......

I'll talk to him a bit more. I'd rather do a single setup just becuase it would be less fabrication. My friend said we could make a manifold with little work. I'll talk to him a bit more and see what he has to say aobut it. Thanks fellas. Bed time for I.

The HY35 turbos of the dodge turbodeisels are a great turbo. (Also better than the HX35 mentioned above) and is easy to mount because it has a t3 mounting flange.

Do not skimp on the turbo, pay the bucks for a good 60mm Turbonetics turbo.
they cost about $1,200 new on ebay or used on ebay for about $600-800

You can get all the tubing and piping parts on ebay cheap too.

figure about $3,000 in parts for everything including injectors and a couple of weekends
of fab time.

a couple weekends? if u have the machines right there it should onlu take a weekend, and if you skimp on the turbos now and just rebuld them they will last a good few years untill u deside the exact amount of power u want and things of that nature then u go buy your nice dual ball bearing turbo(s)
