your gonna want to avoid these SSautoshit turbo kits. The manifolds crack, the turbos die way to fast. The cheapest way to go turbo would be to build your own kit. I would go to homemadeturbo.com and read up.

I would never buy a turbo kit from ebay unless it was a brand name kit with brand name parts.

The only things I would use from those kits are the intercooler and intercooler piping because well...it's just piping.

the piping maybe, but poorly made intercoolers can result in alot of issues

turbonetics, if you plan on using a fmu and missing link for fuel managment then dont waste your time. Plan on getting it tuned or dont do it at all.
