Well, no offense, but if you have to ask...

I'm using a Holset WH1C from a 94 CTD on my 5.2 Dakota...

well, the turbo is cheap, but you will need new injectors, you will need custom plumbing, you will need a custom tune or more importantly, a DYNO tune $$$$$.

Here is a better thing to do:
http://www.bionicdodge.com/bionic/in...p?topic=9467.0

2600 for the kit, 300-400 worth of work from your exhaust shop. The kit comes with the injectors, plumbing and plumbing. You will need to buy a SCT. That guy is Marty from KRC performance.

OH, if you go above 6 PSI, then you will need a one piece intake. That does not come with the kit. I would also get a Boost Timing Module or a MSD setup with a boost timing module so you don't blow up your engine.

THis is not an easy bolt on. And tyhen you will probably blow your tranny. So factor in 2400 for a bullet proof transmission.

If you have to ask, you probably can;'t do it alone....or cheap.

No need for a BTM if he has SCT...

I would prefer (and did) to piece together everything myself, my total investment will end up being around 2500 all said and done, and I'm using Megasquirt to control fuel.
