Why? So you can blow up your motor?
600 for a turbo kit? Oh boy.. you need to research and do a lot of studying before you end up with a mess on your hands.
a quality brand turbo alone will run you 1k. That is JUST the turbo, not including pipes, manifold, lines and accessories.
You want cheap or reliable?
you WILL need some form of ecu tuning. You cant bolt on a kit and expect your factory ecu to work.
it is NOT a bolt on kind of mod.
