The price is very low, so I'm just questioning its legitimacy...
Forced induction is in my future plans. Is a turbo doable?

Yeah, it said that there would need to be some fabrication but I believe AutoCAD would aid in such design...I have a few weeks to kill anyway, LOL.
I need a bit of feedback on this. If I get the encouragement and insight, I will readily buy this kit and keep the project up to date to let you know how it turns out...

stock motors don't like turbos. I will tell you that it is a pretty good price but you still need a manifold and a downpipe. Shouldn't be too hard to come buy but unless you have experience installing a custom turbo i wouldn't attempt it. Go to a shop and see what it would cost for an install if you provide the parts and also what it would cost for a kit + install. That is what I would base my decision on.

i dunno cuz the engines from 1987 all the way up to 2006 were all different and how can they make one turbo to fit all the engines... i am not saying its impossible but i would question the validity of it

I figured maybe the Turbocharger kits are more universal...

Now if you had a friend who did fabrication like this and gave you a really good deal or if you could do it yourself, then you'd save yourself a ton of money. But if you are paying someone else, just buy a whole kit.
