budget turbo?

When you mean budget, what kind of resources do you have?
Besides tracking down the fittings, building the DP can be obstacle w/o a welder.
JGS or BEGI or HKS Manifold
Garrett T25, oil and water cooled ceramic coated turbine housing and polished compressor housing.
Find PC used (~150.00) for fueling--good to 8 psi on the NB's.
If you need to retard timing-- either add an I/C or get the crank wheel from FM and set your base back a bit.
Oil lines:
I used a 9/16" drill bit to drill the pan. And a 3/8 NPT tap.
I used JB weld on the pan to oil return fitting.
I did NOT use sealant or teflon tape on oil lines anywhere.
Summit Racing:
2 @ 3/8 NPT to -10AN fittings
2 @ -10 AN hose fittings
3' -10 AN stainless steel line
JGS Tools:
1 48" GT oil feed line. Comes w/ t's and 1/8" BPT adapters, ect...
Also need a 90 degree for top of turbo, used a brakeline 'T' and just plugged the top.

Water lines:
5' of 5/16" ID Goodyear oil transmission hose to use for the water cooler lines.
2 @ 1/4 NPT to 5/16" hose barb fittings
1 @ 5/16" hose barb.
4 @ 5/16" hose clamps.
Used teflon tape on NPT fitting into turbo(water lines only)
Spliced onto thermostat housing, and just 'looped' the turbo into the circuit.
CircuitMethod.com:
HKS Manifold
Needed to add EGR fitting.
Drilled in the spot in the bottom of manifold that looks like a casting process plug about 1/2" around.
Used a 11/32" drill & a 1/8" NPT tap to make hole under/in the manifold.
Screwed in a 1/8 NPT adapter to 1/4" brake line.
took a 1/4" * 8" brakeline and bent into a U shape.
Sawed the OEM nipple (male)for the EGR fitting off flush with the OEM headers.
From the backside of the nipple drilled/bored it out to 11/32".
1/8 NPT Tap from the backside(tap only will go down about 1/2 way).
Screw in 90 degree 1/8 NPT(male) to 1/4" brake line fitting(female).
Reconnect modified nipple to OEM EGR compression fitting, tighten- make sure 90 is facing downward.
Now when the manifold is bolted on to the manifold the u shaped brakeline will connect the manifold and OEM EGR line.
Took less then 10 Minutes and about $5 in parts.
