If you are on a budget, then piece together your kit using the HT Marketplace and other such fabulous resources. You will ALWAYS pay a premium for a preassembled kit.

I would just get a good manifold from a dealer here on H-T, rebuild a volvo turbo and get ebay piping. Oh, and you'll probably need a FMIC, just don't get one made for a skyline.

Might as well go with a used Greddy turbo kit, ebay kits are a hit or miss, manifold's crack to easily, the turbos are poor quality made, bent fins etc, or go custom and piece together a kit, buy parts individually one by one, take your time at it. If you want to boost so soon, just prepare to drive your boosted car for a few weeks to a month or even lucky 6 months before your ebay turbo kit blows. but you also need injectors, ems, intercooler, etc, along with the turbo kit.
