build or buy

im sure this has been askeda bunck. but what is cheper a turbo kit or to build a kit?

 

[Eran]

Cheaper to do homemade turbokits.

well if you do you research...
find a shop to get the piping
gather up a nice intercooler,manifold,BOV......
and get someone to tune it for you , you'll be saving some denero
but if you dont want that hassle you gotta pay..get a greddy kit and call it a day
personally I'm looking into custom kit myself
maybe next summer i'll be boosting my coupe..along the lines of 18 psi
