Default GreddY Turbo Kit on 4th Gen

Okay so heres my question. I am looking to buy a turbo kit and I want to buy a Greddy for quailty. Many people argue that these kits are overpriced and what not, however Id rather have quailty over quanitity. The kit is only for 97 up ludes, can this kit be modified to be on a 4th gen?
Iv searched this topic and cannot find anything at all. Has anyone ever done this? Can it be done? The manifolds should bolt up, and I would need a different downpipe and a different blue box, thinking of updating to the emanage ulitmate and having that tuned. But besides that, would this kit bolt up? I have innovative motor mount kit which gets rid of the front mount, so gives me more clearance. What do you guys think???

i'm thinking if you could get one cheap go for it. ..

i'm not sure how similar everything is from 4g to 5. but you would be using at least manifold/turbo


everything else.. i'm not so sure

edit: again. . i dont think anyone really has done this

i prefer building a custom kit, but like you mentioned the downpipe will be different, also The IC plumbing may need modification, other than that I'm not aware of what else the kit comes with. If it comes with fuel injectors those would not work

- I contacted Greddy, a tech person told me i'd need the emanage retuned. the downpipe wouldn't work, so i would need to have a custom one and try and sell the greddy. He said the injectors should work. didn't know anything about the piping.

Anybody know if the piping flow on a Greddy kit.. (no front mount) would bolt up to my 4th gen? Is there anyone who has ever tried this???

I'v got a 97lude available to look at, i'v been comparing both cars. I really don't see why this wouldn't work.

Any Suggestions people callin all fellow luders im tryin to break history here...ha


If I go with this anybody interested in 97up Greddy Downpipe*?*

I would go for it. You will have to modify the piping a bit, and the i/c will bolt up diff but should not be too bad.

I'm not a huge fan of these kits. Any turbo kit where an intercooler is considered an "upgrade" is a joke.

If you want a kit, I would go with a DRAG kit. Just make sure to ditch the fmu, upgrade your fueling system, and also don't skip out on the EMS/tuning.

Yea don't get the Greddy unless you get the i/c with it.
