the best thing to do is research that kit before you waste your money on that ****ty turbo. the manifold may be the only thing worth buying for the simple fact that i have one and i love it.

you mean $1500?

stay away from that ebay stuff.

i would make sure the engine is in good tune, fresh spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, new clutch, etc

then good exhaust, fmic kit, maybe a sr or similiar turbo, 1 piece driveshaft

or put some money into the car itself, coilovers, diff, etc.

the key is to keep a balance, do go overboard in one area.
