You should research a reputable kit for your car,and then get a quote for an install. Otherwise it may be better for you to just do a swap!! I think in the long run I would recommend the swap for reliability & cost.

O.K. I've personally been down this road before. Sounds like you need to rethink your strategy,first of all what seems like a good deal on the surface is not necessarily true.You may have got your parts at a "steal",but as you move along w/your "budget setup",you will run into issues. First is the fact that your ecu,your cars computer, will never be able to compensate for boost.So you need to get something stand alone for your motor,which will cost you anywhere in the neighborhood of $800.00 and up.Then you will probably have to change or modify several other parts,least of which will include turbo plumbing,uppipe,downpipe,headers,etc....which will cost about $1500.00 or more.So just starting there,you can see it may be wiser to sell what you got & start saving money for a swap!! Sorry if I'm raining on your parade,but like I said I traveled this same road,and I could've saved myself a lot of grief & time if I had just did a swap to begin with.Anyway good luck w/whatever you do.

Thanks Ryan & Davin for doing my 60K service, brake pad upgrade & stainless lines! Despite being swamped with getting other cars ready for the PDX tuning session this weekend they still managed to direct a great deal of time & attention to my needs.
Thanks also to the guys & gal who helped prevent my car from rolling out onto Auahi Street when (nameless) lowered my car!
Boto boyz ftw!
