LOL...had too try ...
There must be another kit out there somewhere,I will hunt around...
thanks for the info on maximum pressure,I have read a few books on turbo/SC efficiancy and applications and agree it would not be wise to go higher than 11psi...
Yes the trust kit is alittle expensive...but it would have cost me 600NZD for a crap IC with no piping/hose/clamps...
it all depends on how strong your dollar is against the yen i guess...
I must say buying a 99 toyota deisel was a good idea,it does
660kms to a 38L tank,this gets me to the airport every day so dont have to take the benz...

the biggest problem i had with the SC inlet was how tight the room was...the engine mount is in the way,and if you have a right hand drive the steering box is also taking room...
The way i got around this was to construct the flange out of
5mm plastic sheet,drilled small holes at each corner of the intake part of the flange,then used hot glue to insert wire...
Then i bent the wire into a frame that ressembled the shape of the intake...i fitted it continuosly while trying to get the perfect angle to miss the exhaust manifold...
After this a took 2L icecream containers and used the thin plastic to cut and glue panels to my wire frame so that i had a complete replica of the new intake....
when this was complete and it fitted,i pulled the plastic panels of and used them as templates to cut the alloy...
Then i bent the alloy in very odd shapes and fitted the alloy to my wire frame carefully to get the correct shapes....this was VERY hard to get a perfect match...
then after i had it all welded up i bought a small rotary grinder and made the intake and outlet smooth inside...
this all took about 100 hours work...
another problem i had was the bolts on the intake also make it very tight,so i will have to buy longer bolts and space them with stainless pipe so it will all fit...

what im really leading up to is that i think you may still need to take the car of the road to complete this task...
I guess you maybe able to pull the car to bits and constuct a wire frame for inlet and outlet in one day,but it will be hard.

Lol it sounds alittle overwhelming i know,good to see end results though
