WOAH!!!! nevermind lmao ... thats way to much cash. thats why i was gonna go with the k04-001 or super k04. i also noticed that the 89 300zx came withthe t3 60trim. and i do like the price of the turbo, will a transverse VW turbo manifold meant for the T3/60 fit our car?

you can find a used atp t3 manifold on vwvortex for $200+ among other parts to assemble a kit. But to be honest, the pag kits will be close to the same price for everything new. The ko4-001 or your super ko4 (please refrain from this turbo) are not really an upgrade.

i just checked the site out that you psoted and i cannot find the kit at all for the life of me. the complete kits go all the way to supra but after that nothing else.. also in just the single Turbos they dont have the t3 60trim

send arnold an email at pagparts. he will give you a parts list and price (complete with fuel and sw) so you can install everything at once. He also has access to any kind or turbo you can image. he just has the popular ones listed. tell him exactly what you want and he will get it for you.

arnold has everything you will need, programing and all. The best thing about getting it from him is you dont have to source misc bolts or lines that nickel and dime you to death not to mention the time it kills for a $5 fitting.

Just save up and do it right, it will save you much frustration

in either case. 3.5k$ US is not a joke, im working with CDN funds here, even though the CDN vs US is 1.00 : 0.96, but still ...

I dont mind sourcing all the stuff i would just need to know what they are and i will gradually get them one by one until all bought. i have friends who work at home hardware so the 5 figner discount on bolts is great but thats the least of my worries. what the heck will i do with my GIAC if it wont be compatible with the turbo?

either get the new sw flashed over it, swap ecu's with someone with the same one, or buy and new ecu to get flashed and sell the stock one

btw, not every fitting/bolt is available at a hardware store. Im just trying to save you some trouble. I have done it before twice and its not as easy as you may think it is. If you do go this route, take your time and you may be without a car for a short time waiting on parts
