if you get that kit just remember you have to upgrade basically everything. I highly recommend a manual boost controller also so you dont blow a rod through the block like I did. I had to learn the hard way. Had a ATP GT3071R turbo kit installed and had all the right goodies added except a MBC and one cold day I hammered it and POP!! I hit about 27psi on with a stock 1.8 motor. Oil was just pouring out. well 9,500 dollars later I learned my lesson. I also highley recommend forged rods and stronger pistons/crankshaft. Http://www.eurospecsport.com I would give that website a whurl as somethin to think about.
