do a search, there's 3 recent threads about the pumps... if I wasn't on my phone I'd post up a link.

I can sell you a brand new Master Power turbo with a 1 year warranty that will work great for a setup like that for $600 shipped.

Personally, I'd make a front mount. It will be cheaper to make and less of a headache.

If you are dead set on remote mount, your can pick up a used kit cheaper than what it will cost you to make IMO.

If you are still set on making your own, I have some parts that can help (like pumps and such )

There are a few people that have made their own front mounts. ( I have a thread going now in the project section ) The remote mount would be much simpler to fab up on your own.

Having made my own remote mount (granted it was twins and I'm insane to begin with), I disagree Remember that you'd need to make your charge pipes in addition to just hooking into the exhaust. Contrary to what I was thinking when I started the rear twins project, those damn charge pipes are a pita.

Link to my custom rear mount is in my sig VVVVV
