thats a lot of money for just a small turbo, dp, mani and oil lines.

I wouldn't buy it personally. Those turbos go for 100-250$ anyways. BTW i have a cooler and bov for sale

that kit does not include an intercooler, but they can be had for less than $200.

i've dealt with craig and stacey at tunertoys a number of times. great people... they are very dedicated to their customers' satisfaction.

you dont need an upgraded map sensor unless you boost higher than 12 psi. And on those some turbos.. 14,15,16 psi isn't very effecient

okay so for the conclusion this kit is really completely bolt on ready to go? and getting a intercooler and bov would help it though?

no turbo kit is a straight bolt on affair. you will need to put an oil return bung in your oil pan.

If you have your heart set on that kit I would advise you get a bov at the bar minimum. You don't NEED an intercooler, but I would still run one.
And dont plan to boost more then 5-6psi because it comes with an fpr, unless you replace that.
And there is still some stuff you will need. Minor stuff like guages and what not, but its still needed.
Just buy chris_si98's stuff

Intercooler's and bov's are pretty much universal.
