Re: Turbo question!

do NOT buy that kit. It isnt even for your car. Your asking for a headache with that kit.

Search around a bit..there are a ton of threads with lots of information on this.

Re: Turbo question!

Injectors won't fit the 7th gen fuel rail, the downpipe is not the correct shape to even come close to mating up the exhaust, lots of mods needed to make that IC work in our car, universal piping is a bitch.

So yeah. That kit + your car = migraine.

Why do I have a craving for some barbecue now?
