Are you ready to spend atleast 3k?

Don't buy a used turbocharger...trust me from experience...

Gas mileage ALL depends on the tuning.

I also reccomend that you get a new turbo over used. get one that has zero wear and tear, I would def. look into a custom kit. now you can build them for a lot less than $3K

Prices vary upon manufacturer and the specific one you want.

DON'T BUY A USED TURBOCHARGER

You're taking a huge risk by doing so, especially online.

You don't need a header if you're turbocharging.

yeah u def. need a turbo manifold not a set of headers! do u realize that theres a dif. between headers and a down pipe??? i sure hope so if youre looking into turbos!!!!! anways DO NOT BUY A USED TURBO!!!! it will be oil baked and worn out with too much friction!

dude how would i not know what the difference between headers and a turbo manifold, all i asked is if the tsudo headers could be MODIFIED into a turbo manifold

well no they cannot, if you know somebody that has alot of fabricating experience, machine shop and didnt care what you pay then anything could happen, but realistically it would be a waste and you would spend more money cutting, welding and custom fabricating doing it than it would to just buy one
