holset h1c and turbonetics 38mm waste gate question

[05sti]

I have a guy that is wanting to trade me these 2 holset h1c and turbonetics 38mm waste gate for my factory gsx wheels. I was wondering if it would be worth it to do? i really just want a 16g setup but i did some fishing around and found punishment has a t3 kit mani and t3 02 housing with a dump tube for $1200. is there any where cheaper to get the manifold and 02 housing? this turbo is also oil cooled only concerns?

Thanks
Jason

Ebay has t3 manifolds , there not the best but the mani's only cost anywere from 80.00 to 150.00 so that may be an option. But you know that ebay is a hit or miss when it comes to quality. Also there is a company called ERL that makes cast iron t3 mani but they range in the 700 dollar range. OR you can use BEP housing and not have to worry about going t3 . Search for the holset threads on here, those treads are awesome! Good luck either way.=)

Use forums to find a cheaper t3 and o2 housing. I just bought a perfect condition dnp twinscroll t4 on ecmlink for $300 shipped. Definitely search through forums where people are selling them, I believe a couple weeks ago I saw a dnp t3 mani for like $250 or $300 as well. Ebay would definitely be a quick find, but cant guarantee how long they will hold up if your trying to make a lot of power off it

Make sure the wheels aren't chewed up and the shaft play isn't excessive. You could make your own twinscroll manifold.
