under a grand...? are you taking into account the tune, custum DP, Wideband, injectors, pillar pod, there is NO way you can boost a car for under one grand... a decent boost setup will take about 3grand to be running on the car...

Not sure about that.... but I boosted a old 92 sunbird 3.1 L for 750$'s
Using all junk yard parts

But if your talking a good strong reliable kit... your looking at 1500 - 2200
Counts what you got for parts already and know the right people

... what kind of gains are you expecting... if im boosting a 2.2 im hoping to go from the 125ish whp to 210 with the power to make over 300

theres a reason you don't want to draw oil from the head.
there is a restrictor up there.
to be honest the best place to draw oil from is directly from the pan.

downpipe = 80 bucks tops, for me 40.
injectors = 150 used with harness.
i bought 60s for 40 bucks before on ss.net.
pillar pod not really needed = 40 used
wideband = 150 used
tune = 200

plus the turbo parts which is on sale on ss.net for 800 right now.
