Very interesting....but there's no tuning included

Hate to sound like a big plug but If someone bought this for a e36 + my turbo chip tune I have FS you would have a running, proper turbo kit for peanuts...hmmm

forwarding this to some friends!

^^There you go! Someone here is gonna be able to add 100hp+ for less than $2G's...If only it was for an e46 M3

You and me both

...kind of

I saw it last night, wonder what shape the turbo itself is in.

FYI it sells BNIB from the manufacture for $900.

It's a Godspeed turbo.. So Ebay...

Everything else looks alright. if you put a quality wastegate and a quality turbo on it, you'd be set.

But realistically, it's cheaper new.

e30_kid89 · 10-18-2012, 06:08 PM

I'm gonna say it's still worth it....that manifold is not the godspeed but the SPA cast manifold...$500-$600 alone on ebay...and I think it includes an complete 3" exhaust...getting one made is 500-1000 alone, so there's already mad savings there...

SamE30e · 10-18-2012, 08:06 PM

Yeah, I guess if you factor in shipping. But I would swap out the turbo.. Or the wastegate at the very least.

your typical 3" mandrel bent turbo exhaust complete with muffler/res, cat, o2 bungs, flanges, wastegate tie-in can easily top 1k, the biggest factor is if it being done in SS versus mild steel, then the cost goes down....

All depends on where you go. Ive done at least 3 over the yrs(all ss). never cost 1k. usually been about half of that.

Here's a 2.5" SS exhaust system I got done for $600 recently. It wouldn't have costed much more to do a 3" but I don't need anything more than 2.5" for this car. The picture is a shitty cell pic, but the shop did a really nice job with the fit and finish...

Stay away from those guys, they are very arrogant!

$600 including all the materials I see in that pic? or just the labor?

also that's not mandrel bent piping from what I can see... just saying.
