Cool..

So yeah manifold and all that would have been used from the turbo 6A12.. So that saves about 1k.. And doing the wiring saves a shitload as well..

But yeah, far out that is a good price..
I just had to add it ......

i guess it was under 3k because i used my existing turbo setup again, which saved me a fair bit..but all in all im happy with the result :D...ill be sure to come to the next vic meet up when ever that is :)
