Next is installing fenders and a single turbo kit (my wife is buying for me). I was looking at 15mm or 20mm on the rear wheels...

What set up? Make sure you get a good brand, fitment is so-so with a lot of the fenders. I would go 20mm on the spacer, and I think someone here had some for sale.

If you can afford it, go with the twins, you will be much happier. I had that set up, and I was pretty limited, and after spending 10K on an engine + install, I was still only putting down 347 whp. It takes a good bit of upgrading to get passed that. If that's all your looking for, you are good. I would also look into a s/c, which I happen to be a Procharger dealer, if you are interested.

ouch, a used turbo? How many miles? That's a good price, but that kit puts out a lot of heat under the hood.

I just put falken 452's on my volks. They are pretty quiet(compared to hankook and nankang), have really good grip and are really inexpensive.

If you want some advice on ballin' on a budget...

Buy used and work your way up. I started with Jon(cow)'s works and then upgraded to volk GT-S (previously Jacob's) it's easier to afford if you're not shelling out 4k at once and you can practice so you don't curb your dream wheels.

Well either way, your still getting a deal on the kit, and a great deal on the install.
