My 2001 Italian Stallion money pit build

Basically anything I can get my hands on. I made an offer on the town bicycle absurdflow/fm turbo kit, but it was lower than another offer.
I really shouldn't spend any of the money I have left, since I'm having trouble with a solid source of income, and i need rent money. buuuut, my life sucks so much right now, and boost is the best self medication.

The manifold at least is hard to argue with. Very low cost, beefy construction, and bolts up and has external gate support too. If you go that route, I would recommend going external gate since the ebay mani supports it, and external gate is way better anyway. Also opens up a lot more turbo possibilities.
I have an excel sheet printout of part numbers, links, prices, etc for my complete turbo setup I built last year in my build thread. It was about 2K for a 500whp (capable of more) turbo setup for parts. If you follow the build thread I document some of the parts that were changed, modified, etc to get everything to work well and fit right. The only ebay part that actually failed on me was the oil return pump, and I now run a BMW M5 oil pump instead (lol also bought on ebay but it's genuine bmw part) and it's working great.

Yeah... Unsure why he's not considering that. Maybe because he wants a 'track ready' setup? That was my guess.
I wasn't sure where Lars stood on the 'approved use' for that i.e. if it was supposed to be a street setup and all bets were off if it was used on the track.
