    Thumbs up now this is what i call a budget build

    i dont know if anyone has seen this yet, but i figured i would post it give some good ideas. this guy made over 500 rwhp with less than 1500 dollars in the entire build. he also made his own turbo set up. let me know what u guys think.

    Damn that is cheap. i just dont get how he has only 1500 in it. By the time your done all the stuff for tuning it will be about 900 bucks alone.

    I'm a little skeptical on the 39# injectors

    ~ Forged engine of some type ~ Ball bearing turbo of an unconfirmed size ~ 4L8000 trans ~ Beefy fuel system ~

    I have that mag and I think it's BS. $1500 is way too cheap, it just doesn't add up.

    I have that mag and the guy said that he got all his pipes bent for next to nothing. He was just lucky to have people looking out for him like that. fifteen hundred bucks is kind of unbelievable if you ask me, but it's still a good article about a cheap build
