I am looking to run approx 1.3 bar on pump gas.
The exhaust is something I made by myself, however part of it was welded by another guy who I stopped working with. He was very good at making exhausts, but he didn't understand the import style very well I guess... Anyways, He made a pipe which basically rests on the rear lower brace (forgot what it's called) so there is a rattle there. I am thinking about just buying an after market turbo exhaust and mating my downpipe to it, rather than trying to take mine apart and redoing it...
Everything on the car I welded myself except for the manifold, which I only welded parts of. (the tabs to hold on the collector, wastegate) All of the intake piping, downpipe and exhaust hangers, etc I welded myself.
I originally did all of this with the intention of offering the kit/manifold to the public, however at this time I don't think I will be doing it. It takes huge amounts of time away from my personal life and my girlfriend goes nuts. Currently AnthonyMV has a manifold ordered with me from a looong time ago, and I intend to fulfill and support that, however I won't be making any other manifolds for a while I don't think.
The turbo is a Garrett GT35/40, I haven't kept track of when it's fully spooled by (12 psi or so) but I think it's around 4500 or so, the dyno will show the true numbers.
The cost is priceless at this point as I have huge rediculous amounts of time in the project. To duplicate it, I don't think I would charge much less than $10K however and I would need to have the car.

The price I just picked out of the air. I guess what I was saying is that it's not worth it to me to consider it for anything less. 
I am not trying to compete with anyone on price or availability. In fact I am not trying to compete with anyone at all at this point, but if you give me enough money I'd probably consider alot of things!!
Give me a couple weeks and I may have some more information for you. Anyways, back to the original question, no that wouldn't include the standalone, ha.

Be careful with this guy he took me for a ride. I paid him very good money and he totally gave me a messed up turbo kit. It never would have run, there are so many issues with it I had to throw it away. Now I am waiting with an attorney of course to see all of the damages CJB80 ( Chris ) has caused me. Thanks to Mike Simon he is bailing me out. Don't trust this kid he is a 22 year old novice don't let him learn off your setup.. By the way there are several people he did this to . I have the most financial loss..

I would have just beat his ass. So what if I spent the night in jail, it's such a low proority crime that a cheap attorney would be able to get you out with time served.
