Did you even read the thing?
First off, "Universal style" turbo kit. How exactly is there a "universal style" turbo kit? Usually there are turbo's and then there are kit's for certain cars.
You've also got to make your own exhaust manifold. I don't know myself, but I don't think there is anyone making turbo manifolds for Versas.
There's also the price. Only $599 for all that? A good ball bearing turbo should cost, at minimum, $1000. A complete turbokit for a KA24DE, I use the KA because the idea is the same (i.e. N/A--->Forced Induction), costs around $3500. That's a kit that includes EVERYTHING except intercooler and piping. Here's a link to the kit I'm talking about.

That's what you NEED for a fully functional turbo upgrade. The "kit" they're selling is a sham of what a turbokit should be. The only people they're trying to appeal to are the cheap FATF losers who don't do research and know nothing about upgrading from N/A to Forced induction.
Don't be one of those people! There's also a bunch of issues involving compression ratios when upgrading from N/A to F.I. I don't know what the Versa's compression ratio is, but anything over 11:1 is where I'd draw the line. Even 11:1 is pushing it.
In summary, this is a bad buy.......DON'T DO IT!!!!!
