Default NEED HELP!!!! Someone who knows turbo kits!!

I am looking to buy a new twin turbo kit and am wondering if this is a true complete kit except for what is listed as not included. I have a 88 t-top GT 5.0 stock as a rock, fresh motor and trans (less than 6k miles on the motor and trans rebuild). I am clueless when it comes to turbos, but curiosity has caught me. Will this kit work, any advice will be helpful. What upgrades would be recomended to use this kit, thanks for any help in advance!!!!

ya, seems like its got everything, you will need injectors, fuel pump, new spark plugs (non platinum), blow through MAF, and since its a stock motor i would stay at 8-10 psi, and upgrade heads cam and intake and exhaust for full potential

Yepp, thats the kit, i checked and the turbos are made by garrett, seem to be decent. What components would be a good match, as far as flow through mass air, heads, intake, injetors, anything would be helpful, thanks. Any why is the kit so cheap compared to other kits, is this a very small turbo kit???
