Just wanted to post about what has been completed so far and the stuff I bought recently.

I got my custom 3" catback done, and my JGS manifold welded.

My wideband came in the mail today ( its the zeitronix one, looks to be a nice package and for the price it does a good deal of stuff, ill keep everyone posted on how it goes once it is installed)

I ordered my turbo today, T3/T4 50 trim .63 a/r with internal wastegate and 360 degree bearing.

I installed my profec e-01 and emanage with all possible bells and whistles ( over $1,100 in stuff i got it for $550 :pface )Its installed in a custom housing i made out of carbon fiber that fits my two guages and the profec screen and my stereo in the s14 stock radio area, Ill post pics it looks phat as ****. I also got some 370 injectors jsut to get her started for the time being

thats seems to be all i could remember right now ill update pics as soon as i get a chance, i was kinda excited and had to post, peace.

Just curious about the deal you got on the turbo. It seems like everyone (on ebay especially) is selling the 57 trim. Just wondering where you got it from and how much you paid if you dont mind.

actually i had to shop around a bit to finally find someone that sells it with an internal wastegate that was set at 8 psi. cheapturbo wanted $690 without the 360 bearing and the wastegate was a 12psi unit. I finally found import-palace.com and i called the guy and talked to him (tony, hes a helpfull guy) and he got me the 8 psi one with the 360 bearing for $725 (about $60 less than cheapturbo.com. they sell a external wastegate unit for 520 brand new which is a good deal too, the internal gate and the 5 bolt housing tack on a good deal of money, but im happy.

That's about how much I paid for my turbo. Exact same specs, with 360 degree bearing and the coating, but no wastegate.
