Help Me decide: Should I boost or Not?

[umdivx]

So I have a lead on a home made turbo kit for $750 comes with the following parts:

- IHI turbo from a stock surbrau (used to be my turbo but sold it to him)
- Boost Factory custom made Log Mani
- Boost Factory Down pipe
- BOV
- 42 lbs injectors
- 3" MAF and/or SVT MAF
- Oil feed/drain flanges
- early 2k ported intake mani
- STR fuel rail

Basically $1k worth of parts for $750. I am thinking if I get this setup I'd do a non-FMIC setup and do a conservative 4 - 7 PSI setup since I am still on the stock clutch and stock block.

I've even been offered the kit for $200 deposit, and pay the rest when the money comes from shit Im selling that I have laying around the house.

So what do you folks think? Yay or Nay?

well i've got some cisco networking equipment i've been sitting on, worth at least $2k right there. So hopefully something will come from it.

So we'll see.

i'd say do it... what do you have to loose (at my gain)? haha

c'mon, the DSM needs a 3" exhaust and some 680cc injectors

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO for it!!!!!!!!!

[gheycobra]

I'd say go for it, you don't want to look back on it and regret not doing it.

What's your plan for tuning? Can you re-program your Diablo Sport: Delta 3 position “Flip Chip”?
I'd tell him to keep the Intake mani, fuel rail and MAF and offer him $575 for the rest. You allready have a Pro-M MAF, and dont really "need" the fuel rail or IM.
Got any pic's? Why is it for sale?

Jeffscort beat me to it, what about tuning? Stock its a returnless system so going DIY like him is out unless you add in a regulator etc.

Double whatever you think its going to cost.

DO IT!

boosted is better

offer to trade him your headlights and cash? maybe headlights and tail lights?

He bought a 1st Gen DSM and doesn't want to have two project cars. and yes I plan on just having hitech or DB performance re-program my diablo chip.

If anything I can buy everything for $750 and sell the intake, maf's, ect.. the stuff I don't need.

Jeff this is the IHI subaru turbo I had and sold to him, he's giving me first dibs to buy it back, along with the log mani and downpipe he had chuck at boost factory make.

So really the only thing I'd need is charge piping and maybe an intercooler. He does have a 1st gen DSM side mount intercooler that he'd also throw in with everything.

If you price out the following:

turbo, mani, DP, BOV, external waste gate, oil lines, flanges, injectors that pretty much totals over $750 right there. so If get the whole lot, intake, fuel rail, ect... I can just sell off that stuff and get some money back right?

so what do you think?

also tuning isn't a concern for me right now as I wouldn't be installing all this till spring time, and by that time i'll have the $500 - $600 for tuning i'd need.
