turbo theory

couldnt you just buy this kit for $1400 and get the exhaust manifold to fit our cars? it would still be alot cheaper than 6g's or what ever. be more around $2000 plus install... would it work?

Nuts is an unknown quantity at this point

i'm still researching trubos and such but i think you'd need to throw out some parts like the manifold ect. will the hoses and tubes fit from the D16 onto the D17? i'm a trubo idiot right now so don't quote me. but IMO i'd rather go with buying the individual internal parts from KMS. you may not have as many preoblems and gas MPG loss and upkeep as the turbo.

That guy on eBay's feedback is (0).

I'd get some kind of references somehow before forking over $1400 to an eBay newbie.

Manifold will not fit. Intercooler and piping will not fit around the block or behind the bumper. Vacuum lines will not fit, the D17 uses different diameters. Rebic IV does not work on our cars. Injectors, connectors, and o rings will not fit. MSD 6A will not work on our cars.

So no, none of that will work.
