Default Greddy kit able to be used on a DX?

Anyone know if the EX >>Greddy Kit<< will work on the DX engines?? If not what kind of bolt on kit can you get for a DX that is nice for the price and easily upgradeable??

slight difference in charge piping. mainly where it connects to the throttle body. swap to a y8 intake mani and you can use that kit, or modify the charge piping and you can use it. but the rest bolts up the same.

Alright well i was already swapping the Skunk2 Y series /IM/TB onto it so that will cover the Y8 setup for install.. but if 2k is not worth it please give me some links for turbo setup.. i am looking for a base turbo to build off of.. nothing big to start.. i was looking at the greddy cuz it comes tuned with all i need to get started.. also if i install a base kit with no intercooler or BoV.. can you even tell that you have a turbo on it when its running? sound wise?

For almost a decade I drove a '86 Pontiac Fiero SE V6 with a Miller Woods turbo. You could hear the turbo spool from the inside, since it was right behind your head, but you could really hear the turbo spool from outside. I let a buddy drive it around and I really heard it, even over the cat-less exhaust. This turbo setup was set at 8psi without an intercooler. It never ran hot, but after long drives you could tell it needed an IC. It seemed to get a little lazy. I sold the car before I could fabricate a Saab 900 IC to under the engine vent, with a Spal fan on top to help pull air thru. This was a complete kit sold in the early '90s for $2,500. Not sure if this helps at all, but maybe I need another beer.
