Thanks everybody for the heads up and all the warnings. Like always, you's keep people out of trouble by telling it like it is. I'm on a lower income now that I'm use to and saving money is not going to be easy. I figured I have $1000 in my pocket and wouldn't have this extra money again till next years income tax. I don't want to insult anybody with a a low offer but I couldn't really afford much more than $1500 CAD including shipping. Again, thanks everybody for the warnings. Larrs

For the price, I would get an evo setup without a doubt. Get the manifold/turbo/02 housing assembly, a universal FMIC and piping kit, and some work done at an exhaust shop and you will be in pretty good shape other than something to tune with and bigger injectors if needed. Would put you right about at your price range and will have a great cast manifold and high quality turbo.

That being said, I have a setup from a guy that I upgraded his. Pm me if you think about going that route.

^i'm with eric on that one. you want cheap go the evo set up. depending on how much boost you plan to run a big 16 is more than enough.

the only way your going to save money doing an evo 8/9 setup is getting s used manifold/o2 housing/turbo. if you plan on going with all new parts, it will end up costing the same, if not more.
