Holy Shiite Batman- somebody needs to jump on this... Unless you're 'in the industry' you aren't even going to come close to duplicating this for 12.5K. Think of the $$ in all the plumbing, machining, etc.
Assuming you could get two turbos ($1K each, 1.4K if ball bearing), the two wastegates ($600 for both), and get some stainless downpipes made- ($500 w/ Vbands welded on). That would be a twin-turbo mill with TONS of power for under $16K.
And for those that don't know our gracious admin- he is one hell of a guy to deal with. I bought a trans from him last month; it arrived in packing that the MARS lander would have been proud of.
