Yeah, so I've been on this site for around two years now learning what I can from others builds and I think it's about time me to start mine. It's going to go fairly slow since I'm a freshman in college at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida. I'm far away from home and pretty broke, but we'll see what I can do!
Alright, so originally I was planning on buying Alan's entire setup and 3sgte, however, I'm financially unable to so what I've decided to do is to begin piecing together a turbo kit for my stock 5sfe. I began this morning by buying my intercooler piping... ![]() It's just the Ebay 2.25 CXRacing Piping kit. $109 I already have my intercooler that I'm getting from a friend... ![]() It's a Godspeed 24x12x3. $100 Now I'm debating on what type of 3sgte manifold I want, pretty sure tubular and what turbo I want, however, I'm pretty sure I want an external wastegate. I'm open to suggestions tho! UPDATES TO COME........ This post has been edited by Etak28: Dec 14, 2008 - 12:35 AM -------------------- '99 Celica GT - White

So now that my project is finally rolling together and the bulk of my stuff is getting here it leads me to some questions...
How much boost can I run with this setup and what determines how much i can run? My goal is to run 12psi of boost, and to ensure that i'm doing what i think is correct which is im getting the tial 38mm wastegate with the 1.0 bar spring which allows up to 14.5 psi... is there anything else i need to do to run 12psi of boost? help me out guys! -------------------- '99 Celica GT - White
