i got my afc from ebay. right about the timing, that's why i had to make a check valve for the MAP sensor that bypasses the excess pressure. very easy, took like 30 bucks to make. the check valve is like a BOV or wastegate for the MAP sensor setup. you could also get a 2 bar MAP sensor from an MR2 turbo and use that instead, but that will cost more $$. i'm eventually going to get a J&S safeguard which has a great check valve, so my setup is just temporary, but it'll do the job. i'm not sure on a total price yet, i got a really good deal on most of my stuff... probably about 3500 so far, and i still need to get the downpipe and WG pipe made. BUT! i went probably the most expensive route you could go. i bought everything new, and got a lot of toys that you don't need.

hhehe, i'm quoting myself. but remember, i went pretty much as expensive as you can get, a lot of this stuff is optional. for example, i got an external wastgate, which was like 250, but you can get a turbo that has an internal one and it will be cheaper, or you could get a manual boost controller instead of an electronic one.
