Hey, that looks like a scratch on the downpipe... probably from shipping. Use some 2000 degree muffler paint (black), if you want to clean that up.

really, I'm in Yonkers, what part are you in? we should get up and maybe we can run just to gauge your power increase! I know a great place locally.

I can make it to bolt onto anything... even you lawnmower

But seriously... I don't know if I want to make another one... trying to concentrate on my NA stuff right now (I work for a startup... so even finding a little time is difficult!).

On the power-increase... there's nothing to guage... its night-and-day difference... 100whp does that to you!

Well, you need:

(1) Turbo of your choice (I went with a T3/T4)
(2) Wastegate
(3) Intercooler
(4) Blow-off valve
(5) Fuel Pump
(6) Fuel Pressure Regulator (rising-rate... I used Comptech)
(7) Comptech ESM or MAP Boost eliminator
(8) Exhaust manifold (has to be custom)
(9) Downpipe (has to be custom)
(10) Intercooler Piping (has to be custom)
(11) Intake Piping (has to be custom)
(12) Boost Guage
(13) Tuning...

if you want to be sleeper get everything anodied flat black....

o yeah if you want to make your own turbo be prepared to spend a whole lot of money. And you cant just stop putting stuff on, you constantly have to fix, get, and add parts to it. Such as a fuel system(which actually makes it so your car wont die).
But if you dont believe me, be my guest and start building one
