You should do a search. This topic has been covered many times.

its been covered but it really much help. no-one seems to know actual prices! is there anyone in australia that can get kits, weq??? you seem to know most about this

[Weq]

u can import from the US, or buy locally. both have advantages/disadvantges. which include research, time, price & effort.
search greddy 15g turbo kit on google and u will get a million results from oversea's, which include prices. but locally, u will have to ring up shops because online shops down here are non-exisitant with this stock.

weg- could your greddy kit run at 20 pound. cos im helping a friend put together a boosted civic. the bottom end has already been built.

mrJDM, u can get it to boost at 20psi, but the turbos adiabatic efficiency drops tremendously. Id go for a different kit if u have a built motor...

Weq can tell u more, but i know from past experience that the td04s in that kit are good for what they were intended ie low boost..

[Weq]

yeah, greddy says they are good for 15psi, but thats blowing quite alot of hot air. id run no more then 13 on it daily.

For 20psi ur looking at prolly something ball bearing (large hot/cold sides for efficency, need better spool on our small capacity), need a new map sensor and aftermarket ecu to handle it and many more small bits... something that probably isnt provided by any kit, so custom is the way to go.

[Mr. Focus]

ok. i've got a garret t28 from a sileighty. what else will i need and where could you recommend i get them?

[Weq]

ive never bought anything that i havnt foudn online/on a forum. so i have no idea where to get parts.
as far as what else u need, a manifold, downpipe, intercooler pipes, intercooler, oil/water lines, T peice for oil feed, oil return on ur oil pan, piggyback ECU of somesort, bov, injectors (440cc+), boost gauge.
thats about it.

[Mr. Focus]

cheers dude. your help is greatly appreciated :)
