im guessing it wont b the fastest kit. but as long as its relieble id b okay with it.. if it fits together well in all thatd b great. im just lookin for a noticable kick in my car. other then all the small stuff.

and im sure sence its a universal turbo kit itll need a little adustment but it shouldnt b too bad right? just some creativity and pipe fitting....

no, buying a turbo kit that will work on any car is a bad idea....

nothing will fit properly, and that turbo probably has plastic interior pieces

that turbo def has plastic pieces in it... dont get it!!!!

could i just get a differemt turbo? and use most of the rest of the kit? sence other then the manifold and ecu it is a complete kit. to the best of my knowledge. wat turbo should i get for an engine with stock internals?

I have the FMIC kits if you're looking for one of those.. best thing to do is piece together a kit like everyone else said. Get the FMIC, the turbo (that will fit the MSP without much modifications, ie., stock turbo or GT28RS), exhaust manifold, oil feed line, etc. You will save yourself a huge hassle in the end by not getting a universal kit. Get a good turbo that isn't going to crap out on you as well. Get quality parts that will last.
