Yah, I recommend going with the SF turbo kit. And it will work okay with an automatic. We were just talking about that in this thread. Read that page and the page before. Talks about what would be good to have when you get a turbo for an automatic... like a shift kit.

you should get a manual first

for some thats not always an option. The SF kit will do fine.

If you don't mind me asking, why don't you want a German car?

Look at my signature, thats what the kit looks like.

It installs in under 4 hours, and comes complete with everything you need, including exhaust gaskets.

Can't do any customs I stuck in germany they do do that kind of work where I'm at...So If I buy the Turbo will any Engine upgarde that I will have to do?

Maybe replacing the clutch. I mean, you could do spark plugs and an exhaust... but you DON"T HAVE to. It would be worth it though.

 
Rep Power: 0

What Spark Plugs and Wires would you reccomend. Exhaust is already decided and I have an Auto so Clutch really isn't an option

 
Rep Power: 0

We have a DIS ignition so we don't have any wires. But for plugs, go with the Denso Iridium IK22s. I might go with the GReddy Iridium if that is all the shop has on site. Nobody near me sells Denso Iridiums.

i use denso iridium IK20's. They work great.

Is there any difference between the Euro 7thgen and ours. Since he is in Germany.

Hey Catalyst just a quick question about the kit. Is it possible to put a K&N Filter under there? Is there enough room, or is it at a wierd angle or something? Kinda hard to see from the pics.

 
Rep Power: 312

well, yourinmyw0rld has a K&N type filter on his. So, yea. You can fit one on there. But it can not be the 3" type because it is not a 3" pipe. it is a 2 1/2". The 3" wouldnt fit.

 
Rep Power: 301

Hey catalyst what kind of filter do you have? Looks like HKS or Apexi

 
Rep Power: 312

it is a Matrix filter. Retails for about $60, i got it for $10

if you want to see how easy it is to install this kit, go to my DIY, i just updated it with 16 new pictures

Rep Power: 312
