The lift and welder are only really nessesary for the exaust work. you could have a muffler shop do that on the cheap. Im kinda bummed that the car isnt very loud, its just like a stock, decated turbo, so im gonna add a cherrybomb:)

All you really need, is the turbo, manafold, downpipe/exaust, oil/coolant lines, if the turbo is 87- i think its oil cooled so no water lines are nessesary, IC/Intake Plumbing, and an Oil cooler. all parts are OEM on any 85-93 900T. pick up a parts car preferably the same year as your NA so you can swap the fuel computers out. Mine is actually still running on the NA injectors, and computer so its not really a big deal unless your looking for more then 7 PSI.

what i would be buying is a whole turbo motor that aaron pulled. hey aaron what would you want for those parts???
then you would have everything but the Intercooler/plumbing and oil cooler

For the oil cooler you need an oil filter housing from a turbo, which would be on that turbo motor, then if you wanted too you could pull off a stock oil cooler and mount it to the car. i personally hate that idea because the OEM oil cooler is a bitch to remove, thats why i made one from a 9000 unit and mounted it behind the intercooler

ill have to go to the local junkyard.. see what all i can get..
thanks for the info man! idk i have to come up with some money first.. but i was either going to swap a turbo motor in or make my own turbo setup
Deliver pizza, I did it when I was ur age and made some pretty good money. I wished I invested some in an IRA or something, but still think I had a pretty good time otherwise.
ya i work at the local kmart making 7.64.. i have thought about picking up a secound job..

I have intercooler/piping/oil cooler etc... all from the same parts car. He'd have EVERYTHING he would need to swap over, including the harness and ECU.
except for the money to buy them lol... im working on fixing that though lol
Amish have you ever swapped an entire c900 harness? im going to assume its a royal Bitch. i pulled one out before and wow, thats fun.
I think hes better off to swap engines, ECUs, and hack the stock harness adding APC and run it.

I dont know. my Grey turd leaks oil like a bitch, and low boost is getting kinda annoying...
im thinking about going for a couple pulls with the wastegate unplugged, and drop in my original SPG engine after the f***er Explodes. then i can has a turd that has high end:)
