Not worth the money....

It has a T2 flange so it will be a restriction at anything above say 9 psi. For the money there are tons of better choices. That would be a decent turbo if you were looking for instant but low boost. That thing should spool like nobodies business. But again, it's to small IMO.

What WD said. t3/t4 is the perfect size for a KA and will leave you with room to grow. Unless you are on a really tight budget, you should go with something bigger than a t2. If you're on a tight budget you really shouldn't be boosting a KA though haha.

Unless you're getting this turbo for less than $300 and will be happy with nothing more than 250hp, save up and go t3.
