I know many will say, "make your own kit", but out of curiousity, are there any actually turbo kits made for the 5S-FE on the market?

Burien, but their website is down. The kit is way over priced and unreliable like other say. It doesn't come with an intercooler, what kind of turbo kit doesn't come with an intecooler.

Sometimes you might be able to find kits on ebay that previous people had on their cars. Not the best way to go, but if your looking for an "almost complete" kit, you might be able to find one on there if you wait around a bit. As with any kit though, your still going to need some of the custom stuff thats required.
ps. i know you dont want to hear it....but imo make your own kit. It will take just as much effort tracking down the parts than it would to try and find an almost complete kit on line. Parts are not that difficult to track down. Start with presure2's post of his turbo...he has everything you'll need to know. I personally couldnt have done it without his info and help. -------------------- |
