If you don't know what you need, buy a pre-made specific kit like the RRM kit.

I’d be weary of buying a kit off of ebay. Also, I wouldn’t consider that as a kit because it’s still missing quite a few things and I doubt that those pipes are going to fit properly. 4K isn’t too bad for a full drop in Kit that’s been tested. Also, turbo can get quite pricy with maintenance and stuff, so be careful if you don’t have or want to spend the money.

That "kit" is missing hella things you need for our car to be boosted. If you are going to turbo, save your money and get an RRM kit so you don't blow your engine.

the ol saying..."go big or go home"...would apply here...

don't waste your money on that crappy ebay kit, cuz it won't give you what you're hoping for. Get a realm kit, like from RRM, because what seems expensive now, will be more expensive when that crap kit blows your engine!

and no student looks cool, riding a bicycle.

You are not better off buying the ebay kit. It's going to be junk, just like most things on ebay. If you are on a student budget turboing this car is not for you unless you are a killer mechanic who can fix things and install things on your own.

That turbo doesn't look right to me. It almost looks too new. Lol.

Do your research and piece together a custom build. ;-)
