european sources can get you a stock 02 turbo exhaust manifold for $350. they are available new for $700 as a matter of fact. I am thoroughly unconvinced that this is the best option, but it is definitely the easiest. I will probably have a custom one made, or learn to weld making my own.
Other than that its just about running the plumbing and adapting over the fuel system. I havent done this yet, so i dont know much about it, but i know it has been done.
I wish i could find that earlier post i did about the rest of my plans.

how much does a garret-? t3 cost?? Or, do you have any ideas as to what car i could pull of a turbo in the junk yard? How much did it cost you to build your setup, and how fast is your 02 now? I just bought a new 38/38, and I really want to adapt a turbo to it, but from what I'm hearing, thats on the not possible side.
Thanks,
