It might work for a basic setup, ive heard some good and some bad things about the Turbos from those kits. one thing to look at is if there is any shaft play in the turbo. Also, the BOV and Wastegate arent usually the best so upgrading them is a good idea. but any performance shop could modify the DP and make a new manifold for you for about $200. Hope that clears up some confusion

no problem... someties you luck on on quality with these kind of kits, but you usually get what you pay for. but as long as the stuff i mentioned above checks out it should be good

yea dont buy it first week i had it installed seals blew. and leaking alot of oil. it was just more expensive because i had to buy a better turbo, and also pay for anoth down pipe, becuase the new turbo flange was diffrent from my downpipe.
