Default Would this turbocharger work?

Looking for a cheap hp upgrade..

What all extra would I need if I got this kit? Could I leave my motor stock?

Bro.... that kit is teh hotness!!! You should PM Doug or Alberto, I think they both had/have this same kit.

To answer your question, the stock block power should handle it, but just barely.

In my opinion RUN,that has to be the cheapest set up I have ever seen.The price that you would pay to have that garbage installed would be 3-time the amount of the kit if you could call it a kit?.I would do what I and everybody else save,save and save then after saving if you do want to increase the horse power a procharger is(cheaper) a good way to go,reported reliable on stock internals but only to 400 at the wheels.Then you have turboschargers and twin turbos,while single turbos are cheaper.when it comes to custom piping it gets expensive

dont listen to these haterz man. that kit looks good. just make sure with something like that kit you keep the boost really high b/c small turbos dont run well on low boost. if you boost high,u have a lower chance of an engine failure. but they say that the kit itself has a low failure rate, so thats good

Quit knocking my products guys. A guy's gotta eat

Make sure you hook up the round pipes directly to the outlet of the hot side and connect them to the "T" adaptor or else it won't hold boost correctly. If you mount the turbo in the car cabin, you can eliminate the need for a heater core saving a LOT of weight. That is the main advantage over most of the TT and ST kits out there.

Good luck...you are gonna need it

I want to jump the wagon and just flame you silly!!! That turbo is small!! You cant just buy any turbo and think you are good, the turbo size MUST match the engine and should be able to push enough CFM to satisfy the engine..

Awww, come on guys, it's so simple maybe you need a refresher course. Heyya! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.
