You know, I just realized I can get those fittings for less than half what you would normally pay for them...

i couldnt tell you about the adapter...ive never had a sohc to mess with so i dont know anything about it..
if you have $1,000 then you can probally get just about all the parts needed.....depends on how you find some of the parts...be it used or brand new...this is a preety complete list for the "must haves"
my parts were about this:
turbo with blow off valveand02 housing $200
agp wastegate $80 (a must if using your stock internals)
srt4 intercooler $60
srt4 hot/cold side pipes $40
srt4 catalytic convertor $30
srt4 oil return line $12
fuel pressure regulator $145
map clamp $100 (from hahn, best way to go)
srt4 boost gauge $12
rubber fuel line, 1/4" steel fuel line ~$80
fitting for fuel line, fuel pump, and regulator ~$60
fittings for fuel pump return line ~$45
2.5" intercooler pipe kit $100
fuel pressure gauge $45
oil pressure gauge $45
fittings for custom oil feed T ~$8
vaccum lines ~$ 15
i think thats about it....i dont know what it all comes out to...maybe sumone has a calculator

the srt4 turbo will only work with the srt4 manifold...thats just how it was designed...
i dont like to buy much of anything from hahn though.......way way way to over priced....
a dohc turbo exhaust manifold costs $600[&:]
