I'm in the process of researching a "homemade" turbo system. The turbos that I have seen for T3 have been blow-through systems and I want a draw-through system. The hard part is getting the pipes bent/welded the way I want (I have no fab skills...yet!). I am trying to keep the price well below a $1000. The most expensive parts, of course, will be the turbo and carb.

I am looking at a .42/.48 60trim oil-cooled turbo with a standard flang (Ford) for a 1776cc or a .48/.42 60 for a 2007cc, I have not decided which engine I want to use.

Anybody that asks about the reliablity of a T-3 automatic, point them to that one.
