and is it also true that the only turbo kits for the ka24e you can buy online are the ebay ones??? i cant find a decent turbo kit for the ka24e anywhere. where do u guys buy your turbo kits from? or do u make ur own out of a variety of diffrent parts
You typically pick a turbo you'd like to run and get everything else necessary for it, typically the intercooler piping will be one of the custom things needed. "Kits" imo are a dying thing really for this anyway.
It's almost like building a custom computer, you get all the parts you want and put it together yourself.
You can do top mount or bottom mount turbo, with bottom mount, you'd have to remove AC. There are plenty of exhaust manifolds out there, I personally use Xcessive Manufacturing, which is a top mount manifold, and also their intake manifold. The downpipe will probably have to be custom, I'm probably wrong on this, not sure if there's someone with made downpipes around.
You can pick your wastegate and bov, I like Tial.
Then your boost controller, I personally control my boost through the AEM.
I mean I could go on for a long time, It's just probably easier to source it out like this, I mean unless you find a kit that comes with everything you really want.
