Default need help and opinions

ok i think im gonna do it im gonna turbo my Y8 but before i do anything i need some opinions and help. This is my first turbo build and i want my car to be a relyable Daily Driver so i was wondering if i could buy a kit and not really touch the internals. Is the edelbrock performer x kit any good? and remember i dont want to full on race it. Its a DD and i want it to stay relyable so anysuggestions and replyswill be greatly appreciated

An aftermarketboosted car is never going to be as reliable as it is stock. Be prepared to fix things frequently, and put more care into the maitenence than most owners are willing to do.

Yes, and edelbrock kit will keep you going for a while, but things are bound to break eventually. It's just part of the game
