It will not clear your stock hood, or your stock accessories, the manifolds will likely break after a short period of time, its not a complete kit.. etc etc etc

you cant. Unless you piece it together with some BS DIY pieces


but please.. feel free to buy that kit on ebay and then come here and tell everyone why it doesnt fit

the ebay TT stuff doesnt fit under our stock hoods, the welds on the headers crack and are crappy, the turbos are not any good they will grenade pretty quick, you cannot find a TT kit for under $2000 unless you DIY! im sure youre going to get a lot of **** for even bringing this up, use the search to find more threads on this[:'(]

go to treadstone for some cheap t3/4 turbo kits around 2300 bucks. you dont buy stuff like that on ebay, big chance it not what it looks like, doesnt fit ect. ect. why would you wanna gamble away a couple grand when you can buy it from a company and if it happens to not be right you can still return it?
