now, im not familiar with turbo kits on the v6 but on the 4 i am, but i think that that sounds like an awesome kit put together with some quality parts....

i'd be a little iffy on the turbo itself... don't know much about JDM turbo's is an oem off another car?

also tial intercooler? what?
and there's no real use for the throttle body spacer, doesn't do much anyway, except for an added cool noise when the air enters the intake manifold....!

and are you planning on running both the headers into one for the single turbo? why not make it a twin turbo kit, and have two dumptubes, since your having a shop fab up everything..... you'd just have to get two wastegates..... just throwing that out there....

please correct me if i'm wrong!

that JDM turbo is nothing but a cheap China turbo,thats ALL over ebay for 120$-got one myself.

Tial is the wastegate. the intercooler is also probably Ebay. if the BOV dosnt have HKS in gold/yellow letters on it than its also another ebay replica.

as far as the throttle body,IF you get the turbo itl make that sound,so ditch the throttle body/

and whoever mentioned Joe, He has proved himself but nothing than a fraud and hack..please before considering him in anyway-if he will even reply,he hasnt shown himself on V6P. Please read over this:
