5SFTE cost Options

[Davesceli]

I've been reading about the 5sfte and am considering it, a swap is just too expensive right now. i was also looking at the burien kit but its about 2500 bucks, which ain't bad for a turbo kit, but how much would the kit be if i picked up all the parts myself, like pressure2's setup.

Yeah, for the cost of the Burien kit, I could build a BAD-ASS kit. But yeah, it's also about not spending unnesessary money when you can get equal quality in something of a different brand. I bought everything name-brand because at that time I did not know ANYTHING about turbos or performance mods. So I spent close to $6,000 in my setup (not counting what I had to rebuy again). Now, in the UNLIKELY event that I swap in a 3S-GTE, I can use everything except the manifold.
