Are you trying to make your own setup (ie buying ss piping and bending/welding) Or trying to buy a turbo piping kit for our cars?
Lots of info here.

I was going to build my own kit from scratch but found out it was alot cheaper to but the on3 piping kit then build my own coldside/intercooler setup. Worked out great.
Some good sites for stuff you will need:
siliconeintakes.com
racepartsolutions.com
atpturbo.com

And you have seen my car it is not nearly as easy as you think... It makes that cam job look like and oil change... You need to know what you are doing. If you need someone to do it call me...
And remember I threw together that estimate for you... It's still going to cost 3-5k you donor yourself "right"!

im just looking for a piping kit. i am not throwing and tacking shit together. i have the turbo im pretty much trying to find a total kit without the turbo headunit itself.
i heard on3's headers are shit...

Lol, maybe they are, then again they dont make headers, all the single turbo kits out there have you use the stock headers or you can use shorties.
Helion wants $3k just for their hotside piping kit.
For $1590:
I bought the full on3 kit minus the turbo, wastgate, bov, oil filter relocation kit, and a few other little things i didnt need. Its all qualitly ss piping and is holding up just fine. It even came with the trubo oil feed/drain fittings all the misc hardware/bolts/nuts/clamps and 25ft roll of header wrap.
I then spent the money I saved elsewhere, got tial bov/wg, precision turbo, electronic boost controller, bigger fmic, fabbed the coldside etc etc

It's not that easy. There are several different kit's to choose from, but you've got to find one that your turbo will mount to. Does your turbo have a T3 or T4 turbine flange? Most T3/T4's have a T3 flange. Whatever kit you buy needs to have the correct flange for your turbo. The turbo itself is only a fraction of the total parts needed for this.
BOV, Wastegate, boost controller, oil lines (pressure/return), hardware, filter, and then obviously all the pipes.
Gotta recoup the R&D costs somewhere. You can't really jerk the customer around on the price of "standard" components, such as the turbo itself, the intercooler, etc., because we all know what that stuff costs...but as far as the piping? That's where ya make the money. Can't blame 'em, either...it probably cost a good amount of money to develop that kit.

True that, considering on3 is basicly a helion "clone" they didnt have to spend the money on r&d so they can charge alot less for it.
Andrew just don't get in over your head... You ate going to need fabrication in order to do it properly and not slack... You are not going to find some random cheap kit in eBay and if you do don't expect it to work... You need all the fittings for the turbo block and pan...
DO NOT SLACK... I'm sellin my kit btw....

how much do u want for your kit. and if i bolt it up and get it dyno tuned will i run into tons of problems
I have over 6k miles on my motor with the setup and I have no problems cars still running strong... Only thing I killed was a transmission... I am selling EVERYTHING, Piping, brackets, turbos, turbo manifolds, downpipes, front mount intercooler, oil pan, steel braided lines and it's all bolt in...
