Manifold - from Isuzu.
T3-T25 adapter flange, either make my 2 piece design yourself or buy a 5 piece from Matt McInnes.
Exhaust shop can do the downpipe and intake plumbing for you.
Hydraulics shop should be able to do the oil feed and drains for you.
I can't see that costing anywhere near the quoted prices, even including trucking your rover from workshop to workshop.
It's all been done before, there are plenty of photos on here to work from. Only sticking point could be air-con. I've never seen the air-con setup so I don't know how much of a show-stopper this is.

After a month of leaking oil I took the turbo to a local guy to find out why it leaked. Cause...wrong fitting...he tried to talk to turbo glide to clarify the thread type and was hung up on. He couldn't belive it!! I didn't use half the items supplied and manufactured my own parts. For the privilage I paid $3000. I will say that I'm happy with the turbo glide crossover pipe though, but I will never, never deal with them again!
I recommend getting

You could easily make the crossover pipe if you wanted. Fitting the turbo is not hard, but did take some time.
Oh, maybe not then, I knew he was an arrogant dude, but he did mention he was selling kitsQuote:
