I am looking at going for a turbo set-up on my 96 GT. I have a budget of $2,000. I know most people say go for a votech, I know I can get that for around $1,500.

I was wondering if anyone has flipped the stock manifolds to face the front of the car and mounted twin turbo in the front of the engine.

Is there a kit I can purchase for around this price?
Anybody on the forums that custom fabs stuff like this?

Or should I go for a single turbo and not have true dual exhaust?

Hahaahahaha, you said Budget and turbo in the same sentence...

Geez, thanks a lot. HAHA... I know there is no such thing as budget with a turbo system, but I know you can keep it on the cheap.

I am looking for 300-400hp so I dont have to go to forged internals

LOL unless you shoot someone and take there turbo system then leave your 2k.. your not gonna buy one for that cheap. keep saving

mine cost around 2300-2500 bux, but if you cant custom fabricate it yourself then theres no chance in hell. the stock manifolds will hit the accesories if you face them forward trust me i tried. your best be would to be get a cheap set of shorties from ebizzle and chop them.

thanks, are you Twin or single? I can fab the stuff myself, I just cant remember where to buy tubing etc in the cincinnati oh area.

single holset h1e, you can buy tubing off of ebay i suggest mild steel for the hot side then paint and wrap it properly when your done, and if your not comfortable welding aluminum, stainless steel for the hot side.

i have never attempted to weld aluminum because i dont have a spool gun for my mig and i dont own a tig. Wont stainless steel expand a ton when it gets hot

J_Rod

do u have any pics of ur set-up?

livefast1

on the cold side the stainless wont get real hot, but for the hot side you will definitly want to use mild steel. i will try and find some pictures.
