Some q's before I start to buy parts.

Ok,

So I had a couple questions about parts before I start to buy a turbo kit. I am still toying with the idea of doing a DIY kit if I can find a good manifold for the Dura. Anyways, what I am wondering is, are there any parts other than the obvious that would be recommended to buy for the turbo build such as gaskets and stuff? I don't want to get heavy into engine internals or anything but I just want make sure the kit is as reliable as possible. Any help would be great! Thanks everyone!

contact tom on the turbo manifold! last i heard he tested a manifold off ebay and said it was pretty good.

I heard the same thing but I never saw anything about his results though. I'll have to ask him. But I'm wondering if there is anything else that I should change out. Like gaskets and such?

u shouldnt! u could replace ur exhaust mani gasket if u want but u can reuse ur old one!

Thanks good to know. Are there any other parts I should look at replacing while doing this?

From what I've heard you'll get your best deal on a Dura Turbo build if you buy a kit from somewhere. What is your budget?

I've heard the same about a kit as well. However, there is currently only two kits available. One from FSWerks and the other from F2. The F2 kit is in the process of changing a bit so I do not know if that one is even available at the moment. I'm looking to stay around 4k but the biggest thing I like about a DIY kit is that I can start to buy the pieces needed since I don't have all that money at once.
