the turbonetics turbocharger looks nice. i'm not sure about the quality of the plumbing though.

I can handle the piping but do the turbo, wastegate, etc. look like quality parts? I am most worried about the parts that will make or break my motor!!

turbonetics is name brand stuff. but piping quality, fit and alignment is iportant too.

Yeah I see your point. I was thinking about converting my ECU to OBD-I and running a chipped and tuned ECU. Good Idea? Would i need more fuel management then that? I have heard that FMUs are bad and I am doing this with limited funds at the moment, So injectors and fuel pump and tuning are not happening until this summer. This kit only runs 5-6psi, which is is fine by me for now, (I have no intentions of ever running more than 8psi).

those kits are very nice for the money. buy the kit and then save up for this summer for some ecu chipping and a really nice tune and the motor will last as long as it would naturaly aspirated

Only idea, you HAVE to convert to OBD1 to tune, so you really have no choice if you want to do it right

Looks like a good turbo kit. Just make sure when you put it on you TUNE it right away. Or else it won't run right.

That's basically the way I see it to. Would it be necessary to upgrade the injectors or fuel pump?
