dont buy ssautochrome - they are known for being crap.

IMO, build your own kit. But first, read up on how a turbo works, components needed, etc.

Some good sites include, but arent limited to:
www.homemadeturbo.com
www.turbod16.com
www.g2ic.com

ya, ssac isnt what you want, and also you still need alot of parts with that "kit"
to give you an idea, here is a quick list of the stuff you will need

Manifold
Turbo
downpipe
Oil lines
charge piping
intercooler
bov
injectors
chipped ecu
ecu conversion harness
boost gauge
and TUNED


and you may want/need
external wastegate (if you dont get a turbo with an internal one)
wideband sensor and wideband gauge
oil pressure gauge
fuel pressure gauge
fpr
fuel pump
exhaust gas temp gauge and sensor
boost controller
bigger exhaust (stock exhaust will greatly reduce the power from a turbo setup)
Chip burner
datalogging cable
Clutch- almost certainly your stock clutch will go away after a little while....
traction bars (if your car is like mine and gets wheel hop, a turbo will just be spinning alot more than before, and i say this so you dont grenade your tranny, fwd trannies are destroyed by wheel hop)


Also the downpipe will most likely needed to be weled to fit your turbo and manifold
the injectors may need clips and resistors if you use the popular dsm injectors ($75 ish instead of $225)
The oil lines may need some special fittings, as well as they need a fitting tapped (welded) into your oil pan for the oil return line.
the intercooler (charge) piping may need to be cut and weled to fit your car correctly.



umm this is all i can think of at the moment, I hope this gives an idea of what stuff you may need. Feel free to pm me, and ya homemade turbo and turbod16 are great resources.

dude don't go with a xs power or ssac turbo kit, every one says there stuff is crap. go with garret or turbonetics.

garret or turbonetics don't make turbo kits.

rev hard makes a kit and costs quite a bit and you will still end up having to purchase more stuff for it the best thing to do it research on the sites listed from one of the other members and start building your own kit so that you will get what you want plus you will learn at the same time
