Want to build a 500HP Evo on a budget but you are dwaft by figures that some guys throw around, but heres some good news 500HP can be done on a budget as well...

Turbo kit:
T3 Cast Manifold by RevHard USA (R3000)
T3-T4 Turbonetics Ceramic Ballbearing Turbo (R9000) choose the one that supports your HP goal...
38mm Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate (R2000)
Custom fabricated Downpipe and fitings (R2000)

Exhaust:
Megan Racing Downpipe and decat pipe (R2500)
OBX Backbox (R1500)
Custom 3inch center section (R1500)

Internals: (Drop-in Rods & Pistons)
Wiseco Pistons (R4000)
Eagle Rods (R3500)
Plus gaskets & seals etc (R1500)
*NB if you on a very tight budget its not necesary to change the pistons, after some research I found that most tuners rate the stock pistons safe for 500HP some enthusiasts rate it good up to 550HP - reccomendation is that the Rods be upgraded at least to Eagle Rods*

Headwork:
Cosworth 272 Cams (R7000)
Supertech Springs & Retainers (R3000)

Fuel Supply:
PTE 780's Injectors (R2500)
Walbro 255L intank pump (R1000)
Zex in-line Booster pump (R1500)

FMIC:
Greddy FMIC Kit with piping (R5000)

Clutch:
ACT 6 PUCK RACE DISC Clutch kit (R5000)

Tunning:
ECU-Flash - mail flash from the states ($100)

Wham, Bham with a little bit of labour you too can have a 500HP EVO

In SA on the Opel Scene we have been doing similar cast manifold Turbo upgrades to the TS's for years for well under R15k pushing out 350-400HP like clockwork pretty much since the 90's... In them days it included Injectors + Unichip & FMIC with piping (stock block)

back in the uk Manu from turbo dynamics (now living in zim and good mate of steve@nosweat) built us a evoIX gt turbo with flowed housings and reworked trim and clip on the compressor wheel and at 1.7bar it made 470bhp (flywheel) was mighty impressed .
but the turbonetics bb turbos are great value for money Cool
