      That pretty much depends drastically on the rest of the setup. How the FMIC is laid out where the manifold positions the turbo, and what materials are used.

              I would budget anywhere from $300-600 for IC piping. $200-400 down a downpipe. All depends on what materials are used as the prices drastically vary. Idk if you are already gonna have a manifold and all the wastegate setups stuff or not.

                so im looking at a grand or so for piping which i was guessing. As for a manifold...well i guess i should pm you on that.

                  honestly, if it is a system that is available out there, you might be better off getting one already built, otherwise if it is a vehicle that isn't common to Forced induction, then it would be worth having custom built. Look into what greddy, hks and many others who already have them available and see what the difference would really be in custom makeing it. It may be cheaper to go with theirs.

                    Why would you just buy a "kit"? Most kits are garbage and incomplete. I would go with a custom hand built setup over anything any day.

                      From talking w/ him it looks as if he is looking to do a full build and a setup that will make good power. Most all "kits" on the market are made so that they are bolt on and suit "everyone". Therfore most of these kits will not make good power as they will be very conservative and use smaller turbo's, poor tuning managment such as FMU's, small IC piping and downpipes so it all bolts to the stock equipment, etc.

                        Yeah i'd get a custom turbo kit.....If you have seen the turbo'd blue RSX from valley city....you would see that he doesnt really make shit for power and his times are still slow.

                          well, I didn't know he was looking to go full custom with high power.....find out how much a custom mandrel bent piping will run and let me know for comparison towards something already designed to "bolt on"

                            i bought my piping for 120 bucks and had a buddy weld it. i believe nick priced me at around 250 for materials and labor.

                            no race car? becuz homeowner...
