Thanks, well the kits they're telling me is just the intercooler, piping and waste gates and other stuff, no actual turbo. The turbo comes extra. I'm gonna go to their shop this sat to see how much for the turbo + kit and install. Sorry I for not clearly mentioning it.

I'm looking at craigs list and ebay for the turbo. The thing is I don't know what turbo to get. The engine health is another one of my priorities. The car has 140K miles. Its has always had its tune up and oil changes done. The previous owner, my brother-in-law never raced it, he got it like that off a dealer. I've known him for 4 years and I've never really seen him abuse it. IDK if I should build the motor first and then boost..

Oh and the turbo kits seem fine. My friend's turbo(not sure the brand) is boosting his LS Vtec up to 280 whp(I think or atleast that's what he said). His turbo is a t3/t04 57 and its really shiny LOL! He got the turbo for $350 used. When he had his turbo installed he also had his internals worked. He was telling me something about the trim on the turbos that I should be looking for, I really don't know much about the trims.
