Greddy kits are good as long as you get a intercooler and blow off valve too. But I personally wouldn't turbo charge a stock motor with 200,000 miles on it (asking for trouble down the road). Find a lower mileage D series then buy a kit and have a knowledgeable friend help with the install. A smaller turbo (16g, t-25 eclipse turbo) would be better for daily driving = less turbo lag.

was about to mention this.
leg = lag
14b or 15g are good choices as well.
