I'd either get a Edelbrock Open Track kit or build a custom kit yourself.
Go with the Edelbrock for a great quality and very complete kit that will include the intake manifold your going to want to change anyway, and it will bolt right up with no fabrication.
If you have the time and patience, build yourself a custom kit and save a little cash. Don't mess with the ebay no name stuff, your just asking for problems going that route.

Re: -----NEED HELP BUYING TURBO KIT!!!! (Ej1_coupe)
I've been doing some research on Turbo D16. And it seems like the downfall on these turbos lie mainly on the manifolds and wastegates. The turbo will fail down the road but with the 2 other things, it's usually a toss up on how long they'll last. You get what you pay for, but if for some reason the kit lasts a couple of months, it would be good time to save up for something of quality. That is if you're thinking about just getting your foot into the door of the turbo world. But you will most likely end up spending more then need be, then if you would have waited a bit and peieced together a kit on your own with name brand parts.
