The best turbo kit for the money is from JGS. Unfortunatly it's not a complete kit. It doesn't come with the FMIC kit nor the intake filter and piping. Those can be bought from EBay though for about $200. You'll also need engine management. By that I mean bigger injectors and a means to control them as well as retard your timing on boost. I'd say get a ROM tune from JWT or Enthalpy, check out there websites and make sure you get the right sized injectors that match up with an available tune.

Hope that helps

I don't think the ebay kits or any good, but people do have good results with the manifolds and intercoolers. I went with a turbo kit myself and if I could do it all over again I would of just pieced it together myself, in the end my setup is basically that now anyways.

Ebay intercoolers are good, as well as piping. I would watch out for manifolds, but the SSA bottom mount t2 mani's are probably the best ebay ones you can get. They are the only company that I know of that has gone back and modified their design based on input from people running their setups. If you are going bottom mount and want to run a t25 or t28, get the ssa one. As far as ecu, it is possible to run the stock ecu with stock injectors if you have an fmu, but that setup is not very reliable past 5 or so psi. If you are serious about your build then I would suggest an enthalpy or JWT tune, they have proven themselves to be reliable.
