    vr6t

    sorry for the newbie qs, probs been asked multiple times,

    VRT - why is every thread i read about budgets so damn high?

    i don't want to build a race car or nothing, i'm not even aiming high, just want some down low punch + something fun to do.

    can you slap a turbo on the car with the stock ecu and not mess around with anything?

    i understand manifolds are hard to come by since most are lhd and even the rhd ones need modifications to work as i've read. but i was thinking of making a y pipe from the stock manifolds and throwing on a t3/t4 flange on, wack on a turbo suitable, oil feed/return blah blah.

    bend up some piping for a intercooler.. yah yah. gumtree for a cheap intercooler..

    will it work?

    am i dreaming?

    My quick excel turbo build, this was without approx 4-500 of ARP bolts and studs and a few other things, this was also done as the cheapest you could possibly get most parts. If you want to do it properly it gets up there.
