No.
Get a quality kit from Go Autoworks if you don’t want to modify every single piece to make it fit right, and still have a crappy quality turbo kit.

Cheap does not mean reliability or quality. Go cheap on something like this and im sure you will pay for it in the long run.
save up and do it correctly the first time.

$1800 for some TRASH turbo kit. haha... I highly doubt that's even a real Turbonetics turbo.
OP, keep your car stock. It's obvious you aren't ready to have a turbocharged car.

Maybe, but at least they asked first, instead of just slapping this kit on and driving around untuned

Nope, I agree with NV. People with mindsets like this are the ones that fail builds on a routine basis.

Minimal effort, no topic description, and he found it easier to just make a new account/topic here rather than doing any research on these kits or what the market offers.

You make valid points.

Itll work. Use different fittings for the return and feed for sure. A p13 with s300, 600cc injectors, and a 250 fuel pump.

So....you would pay $1600 for a so-called Turbonetics turbo with shitty manifold, shitty tube/fin FMIC, etc? That kit is worth $500 at the most.

The only thing I would look into reliability on is the manifold(welds) turbo(yes its important of QC) intercooler(welds again) and downpipe(yes welds again). Silicone connecting adapters and intercooler piping are a dime a dozen.

Even silicone couplers shouldn't be cheaped out on in certain areas... The crappy autozone ones will melt right apart if they're used on the compressor housing of the turbo for an intake elbow.

And a generic/knock-off wastegate and blow off valve that may or may not open when it's supposed to. These "kits" are nothing but problems.
