Easily...

Buying the kit will be more expensive, but the convenience and the luxury of knowing everything will install with as few hickups as possible make it worth it.

If you can afford it, go with the kit.

im in a good mood today.

you can piece together a kit, it can go either way in price, if you buy good used parts or not, but you cant go wrong with the fr kit,

im running the pro street stage 3 kit. only thing i changed was the intercooler piping, i did some different stuff.

There are a lot of other quality turbo setups for a lot less money. Also, putting your own setup together allows for you to tailor it to your own needs AND you'll learn a lot in the process

This very true. I've learn a lot by just putting together a turbo kit. But if I can redo it, I'll rather buy a new kit. Buying use parts are just going to have problems. Maybe bad seller, shaft play etc etc... That happen to me also...

full-race,peakboost, SLS, etc... They are all great, it's just up to you if which name do you like more.. Also look for lifetime guarantee against any cracking or defects...

I would recommend SLS...they've always had good stuff and they're great guys. They offer a pretty decent kit for a great price.

Also, building your own setup doesn't have to mean used parts...i've always built my own setups and i'm running all new stuff. Just shop around The Sponsor's Marketplace and you'll find a lot of great deals

ive never bought an actual kit and ive always pieced my kit together. but if you are looking to not worry about what fits where and what you're missing then full-race isnt a bad choice

I would take a look at AFIs stuff. Arizona forced induction has a real quaity kit but for a little bit cheaper price just b/c it doesnt say "full-race". I believe you can get their stuff here... http://www.tunerheadquarters.com/
