I dunno about that one. Looks to be. I normally shy away from anything that boasts about carbon fiber anything. And that's cheap. which is also scary. But looks to be all you'd need.

You'll need a LOT more than that. It's just a turbo you'll still need a manifold, new exhaust up to the cat and engine management among other things.

I love how the first one fits 2.5-3.5" piping which means it becomes a restriction past 2.5".

Expect to pay at least a couple grand for FI.

That first unit is one of those cheasy "vornado" type deals. It fits in your intake hose ahead of your TB unit. The difference with this one is that the incoming air causes it to spin, as opposed to just being a stationary unit. Plenty of folks getting rich selling these and I have not heard anyone brag about the increases.

The second item is a turbo, it is a replacement unit. If you do not have one already on the car, it will require fabrication and or money (as in at least $1k) to pay someone to make it work.
