home grown Turbo
Who all has done this? how many of you have made your own kits, and how many bought them?
Just curious.
Also, from your experience, what would you do if you had to do it again?

Anyways, I'm just waiting for the manifold to get finished. Then it'll be a bunch of welding pipes together to finish it off.
