You can easily piece together a custom setup cheap. TTR sells a basic T3 manifold for like $3-$400. Then you can buy any T3 inlet turbo, like Precisions, for $800-$1500. We can make you the DP, CP's and Intake and install it all for around $1k.

Nothing LOL I have an exhaust leak now 
Just started up like yesterday. I jacked her up on stands tonight and re-tightened the dp bolts cause the sound is most def from that area. It minimized the sound but its still there. i wonder if maybe I tightened it too much the first time and crushed the crush gasket too much LOL if it aint one thing its another. AFR is rock steady though so I doubts its on the turbo side cause its a classic pulsatting leak that gets louder when you accel...

On a side note, does anyone think that using a different gasket other that the copper ones will help if that is where the leak is? This may sound stupid but, what if I used two stock Exhaust to Turbo gaskets instead of the copper ones? Is thats just a moronic idea or can it work?

LOL thats one VERY important detail. Buy a kit and then not have to tool around with it yourself=WIN

I don't see why it wouldn't work, the stock gaskets worked with the factory divided flange, should work with the spacer also.

Thanks for the input guys! First I need to pinpoint the leak. You can hear it nice and clear in the engine bay at the back so it has to be where the turbo mounts or where the dp mounts. Thanks again.
Oh, and I forgot to answer your inquiry earlier about how its running HHRSSouth. Shes great, AFRs are the most stable Ive seen them in a really long time. Pegged at 14.5-14.9. They used to swing wildly before for some reason. Boost response is amazingly quick. The car pulls really hard on the tune. She also doesnt go into boost as much when put-putting around, which I love. I used to be about even or about half a car on a new Camaro SS when tuned and used to put about a car on one on the E blend. The other night while tuning, I put, literally, like a bus length or two on one all the way to 130 lol We had two good runs and both times I was amazed at how I was pulling away on 93octane. The second run was actually funny cause I started in second at about 45mph and missed third so he was pulling away at wot, then when I got it into third he was about two cars ahead of me and I reeled him in and passed him like if i was cruising on by LOL it was awesome.
So, yeah, she runs well and this turned out to be the upgrade I was wanting

I was looking at a pic of a crate engine LHU and there seems to be something that looks like it may be a secondary HPFP on the exhaust cam...anyone think maybe we might be able to do an LHU head/LNF botom end hybrid? lol May solve our full E prob and feed a large turbo too. Just an idea...
