ok I saw that the boost designs kit stage 1 doesnt include 50 lb injectors, fuel rail... but the second one does. for 800$ more. I dont know a lot about turbo's but can you run a turbo w/o a fuel rail and better injector's? will the stage 1 kit work? or do I need to buy anything else? or is the stage 1 kit all I need to have a turbo chagred engine? here is a link to the kit.

NOTE the picture shows kits 1-3. read the listing to hear what the stage 1 kit includes.

so all I need is kit 1 and I can have a turbo charged ka24de correct?

the 230rwhp is not guaranteed im sure. It depends on how good of condition your engine is in now.there is some knowledge involved to turbo a unturboed car. You will need to know how to adjust timing/fuel etc..

everything that is in the stage 1 kit is all you NEED to turbo the KA. The SAFC will definitely help though. It would be better to just read up on here, than pay someone else to tune your car. It would be a learning experience, and you would be more proud that you did it yourself. Personally i think You need to read up more BEFORE you turbo your car.
