Hey guys. It's dawned on me that I can boost the 4AGE for very little $$$ since I have a T25, intercooler piping, couplers, and an intercooler on hand.

I mentioned the idea and the response I got was research, research, research.

So I'd like to throw my thought process out there for review and criticism. Also, if you have a part/s that I need and are reading this, let me know what you're asking for it/them.

I'm an '86, completely bone stock.

I see a $190 (obo) manifold on eBay (Ta Da) and I'm wondering if it's worth the $$$$

The turbo is a T25 off of a 300ZX TT, almost brand new; had been replaced just before my buddy upgraded his turbos.

The intercooler is a side mount unit from an Audi S4; 11 row.... 7"x9"x2.75" core, 2" tubing.

I assume that a used SAFC for $100 will do the spark and fuel trick: Mount the AFM on the cold side of the compressor. Don't know if I should just swap to the GZE ecu - think the SAFC will be easier and safer.

Downpipe: should be simple with a scrap flange and my buddies welding skill -

Injectors: GZE injectors don't look particularly expensive new but maybe somebody could spare a set?

Hmm..... what am I missing?
