Default What would I have to upgrade if I bought this kit

I know its an ebay kit and people have said to stay away from them, but I only plan on running 6-8 psi and staying with low boost.

You would need to upgrade your brain



This is not a kit. It's just a collection of cheap parts. At the very least you would need:

- a turbo manifold

- tuning and fueling solution (a piggyback or standalone, fuel pump, injectors, wideband)

- exhaust piping (downpipe, wastegate output)

- gauges (fuel pressure and boost at the very least)

- a lot of smaller stuff: slim fans, oil fittings for fuel pan, fitting to tap into head for oil (or sandwich plate with restrictor)



Not to mention you would have to design the kit yourself (how to route the charge piping, where/how to install the intercooler, etc etc)



If by some miracle you would actually get this to work, you would of course need a better clutch to handle the power.
