well i am a 3rd yr app grease monkey so i was able to do it pretty cheap but if your not or not that mechanically minded or dont have many mechanically minded friends it can be alot. my mates au turbo ute ows him around 30 g for the turbo but thats a fully built motor etc etc basically the works. there is alot of little jobs involved that can take time. id recomend having another car as a daily driver but thats just me.
basic price list of what i spent turbo kit from snort performance -$3250 intercooler piping not much bought a cheap kit of ebay eliminator chip custom tuned $1350 gfb adjustable bov -$500(cost way too much but it looks cool and have 18 differewnt volumes) had most of my stainless water cooling stuff tig welded by a work mate various turbo hoses $250 clutch to suit $600 got fuel pressure lines made up for fuel reg -$100 4 inch pod $100 exhaust cost $1100 stainless 3.5"" from turbo back to cat then 3"" with waste gate plumbed in $1000 (mates rates) i used ba turbo injectors which were about $200 exchange from repco (trade price) will be upgrading soon to ford motorsport injectors various gauges -$200 oil catch can -$100 relocate battery to boot (bout $150 did it myself) thats all i can remember now but there is more ill put it up if i i remember plus countless man hrs and pain in the a** getting towed to my work(no hoist at my house) and to the exhaust shop and to get it tuned etc etc but it sounds awesome and feels like its floating when on full boost.../ oh almost forgot the $3000 for the new t5 z spec from malwood auto which is almost dead

Ok little update. Out for a boost on the weekend when car started running like a dog sounded like 3 clys were firing anyways took her home and tried to start it and the engine locked up... eeesssshhhk but after a few clicks with the key she managed to turn over again but not start. Pulled plugs to find cly num 2 full of coolant so I had a hydraulic lock up. Going to pull enigine out and give her a birthday new rings bearing and get everything crack tested maybe some new pistons well see what cond they are in. Also planning on using a jim mock custom turbo head with stainless steel oversized valves and valve springs and one of jmm's turbo grind cams and some vernier cam gears. This will keep me busy for a while. Will just have to settle for takin my manny mont to the drags and see what times shell pull

Howd you end up sorting the reg, you were having issues in your other thread?
Spewing you popped it so quick, how much boost were you running?

I have to ask... do you guys get much lag with the long path from the turbo to the inlet manifold?
Only interested as I used to have an RS Turbo scubbie and the intercoolor sat on top of the engine - real short path between turbo and inlet. Cheers RD

with how they are setup you hardly notice the lag to be honest my pulsar ran 12 PSI as soon as she hit boost you felt it lol had a bigger intercooler then what you can fit in a falcon

it actually wasnt as bad as i expected it was just a head gasket had mayorly gone wrong i dont think it was perfectly lined up when i put it on (DOH) oh well im still going to put a jmm custom turbo grind head.. i was running 9 psi with standard injectors with the rising rate fpr. was doing fine although a couple times on hot days in 4th or 5th when i gave it s**t it was pinging a little and the knock sensor was basically killing the motor eeessshhhk.
and yes i sorted out the fuel pressure reg issue the hoses were on the wrong side. although thats what i was told by some one in that thread. oh well s**t happens i am going to use the eliminator chip made by sct and am getting a workshop in sa to tune it called lmg performance that guy is a ford nut. so ill end up using my big walbro fuel pump with the ba injectors with the eliminator chip. i have been going to the drags a fair bit lately and getting right into it last night i borrowed my work mates turbo beetle and ripped up the track in that little fire breather so i have decided to build a big auto for my ef with a 3000 stally and a b&m shifter hopefully itll do some good times

Cheers RD the lag in my car isnt too bad at all its basically on full boost by 2600rpm which isnt bad because it still allows me to drive around off boost if i have too
