I found a turbo "kit" online, I don't really want to just get a kit and change it over night..but i want to build it, I'm thinking this is a pretty good list, and good place to start.
what on this list is actually important to have.. what do i actually need for a turbo build. Obviously they have marked this up, that is way to much money. It would probably be cheaper to buy everything separate.
give me your 2 cents

$6k is ridiculous. Ive been looking for turbo kits as well for my is300. In another thread, some guy posted a company called Driftmotion n they have a kit for $1450, but u need still injectors and manifold i believe, just not sire of the quality. Maybe someone else can chime in and give advice.

I spent well less than $6000 and I built the motor in my car as well...
I'll try and compile a list of things and where I got them from along with a rough estimate... I would say I probably spent $3000, give or take, sourced some stuff used, some stuff ebay, some stuff from vendors, and some stuff from parts places locally, as well as a junk yard...

Here ya go... now, keep in mind, this was a budget build, but there is nothing in the kit that can't do 400+ whp, and with a simple turbo upgrade and fuel pump upgrade, the motor could make 600+... too bad the auto trans can't do that without being built...

I could give a crap about brand name, all I care about is how well it performs...
in my case, even on 4 psi, breaking in the new motor (200 miles so far), she is significantly faster than before, and I see no reason why when broken in and tuned she won't put down 400+ at the wheels...
