I thought I would post everything I have left from my turbo part out, I purchased all of this from another NT member and I did not do any of the fab work.
Included in the kit are:
T3/T4 Turbocharger (ebay T04E): works just fine, always gave it time to cool after running. Minimal play as far as I can tell.
Front Mount Intercooler: It has a couple dings on the fins on one side but works well.
RFL BOV(red): Works well and is pretty loud after 6+ psi.
XS Power wastegate: 3 psi spring and a manual boost controller, used it to force 8+ psi(boost creep) :thumbdown: it's probably still set for 6 psi so be warned if you use it.
Autometer boost gauge: works well, has supply line and I replaced the bulb.
Up Pipe: Fits SSA headers, not sure what else it will fit.
Down Pipe: When I got the kit, the down pipe was rigged out of a 5 bolt flange and flex pipe. It sucks and needs to be replaced. If you don't need it I will kill it with fire.
Charge Piping/ intercooler piping
Vac Block
Couplings + T-Clamps
Hardware & flange gaskets
Oil Catch Can

Battery Relocation Kit (Box+ Heavy gauge pos/neg wire+breaker).
Oil Pan: With return Line
Oil Sandwich Plate: With feed line.

Looks like all that is missing is a coupe vac lines and couplings.
$750 for everything plus shipping, I'll attempt to get a deal through FedEx at work, otherwise I'll attempt to ship items as cheap and efficiently as possible. I spent $150 or so to have this stuff shipped to me.

Everything Has been sold. Thanks for looking. I sold the kit on a first come first serve basis. Good luck to those who messaged me, if you don't find a full kit for sale you can always put together your own. :)

I would totally buy this but I am skeptical about turboing the ol 6 cylinder. I have heard that they can't take much and that it's kind of like walking on a bridge of glass. How was it for you? How is everything holding up?

That's the hard part, of course it's better to boost a healthy motor and such. But these weren't built for boost to begin with. From my experience; it does just fine as long as you maintain safe levels, and boost becomes addicting. my car ran pretty well at 6psi with 290's and the neo, but tuning wasn't the best using a piggyback. In my case; I had a chance to boost on a budget and I went for it, It wasn't a perfect setup and I learned a lot during the time it was boosted. Overall, when turboing an engine with higher miles there are certain risks, especially when considering internals and fuel delivery.

It's fun but it takes some work. especially true with custom parts.

wow this is a great buy/price for someone wanting boost. Would costs thousands otherwise. RARE FOR V6! Just turboed mine and im loving it despite a few kinks to work out. GLWS!
Thanks! I enjoyed it, but don't make enough right now to keep up with other important maintenance and other vehicles. It was really fun in the 8-10 psi range :sweet-jesus:

I'll see if i still have any videos around later of accel and such. not sure if I do. Just wanted to add, that If you're looking to boost, then it's time to start doing tons of research on each component, down to pcv configuration and tuning. Our cars can be picky. but man it sounds rad when it spools.
 
Did you ever get it dyno'd? And damn you for putting this up for sale ;) I was trying to save for the next couple months for a tune... now for an epic decision to make :p

sell the stage 1 and buy the turbo kit. You wont regret it and will come out money ahead :cool:
 
Dude I'm seriously considering it :) I haven't heard much about people twin charging.. would a stage 0 s/c setup run good with a turbo setup like this? My thinking is that you'd have the instant power from the s/c and then when the turbo spools you'd get more of a kick.
 
Nice! I'm suprised to see someone used that flex tubing.. Seems to have worked well enough!
Twin charging would be nuts. If you were to do it. I'd make sure to leave the wastegate open so you can make sure you don't blow it up at the first wot run lol!
