Ben590 Member 13 Member For: 13y 8m 30d Posted 11/08/11 10:14 AM Author Share Posted 11/08/11 10:14 AM Yeah I was hoping to get all the manifolds second hand. But I got sick of waiting and bought them brand new. so $2000 for the manifolds, I got a turbo and actuator for $1100 and all intercooler and piping plus dump pipe for $210. that's the major stuff anyway. I'm just trying to sought out how to make an after market oil drain line to my sump without drilling and tapping the sump. most likely will make a T piece fitting at work and screw that into my sump drain hole.

It's not exactly the cheapest thing haha. Water lines I'm not sure where they go so I will have a look at my mates xr6 turbo.
