i would advise against putting the turbo kit in yourself, as currently, you know very little and still need to do your homework.

after being boosted for 2 years, going through a head gasket, now a spun rod bearing and tons of money invested...all i can say to you is..expect to blow **** up regularly.

oh, and "kits" are a good starting point, but if you want to go all out, it's a waste of money, because chances are, the more power you make, the more of the parts your kit came with youll want to change out. IE piggy backs for full stand alones, small injectors for larger injectors, etc. so in the end all youre usually left with of the original setup is the turbo (unless you go bigger), manifold(sometimes), intercooler and charge pipes.
