hate to be a downer but the turbos are usually garbage, the oil lines disintegrate, you MAY be able to use the BOV and wastegate, the manifolds crack, the boost controller should be ok, youd need injectors, a way to tune the car and a tapped oil pan. itd be easier and more reliable to piece together a kit with used stuff mostly.

^yep

That exhaust manifold will crack, the turbo itself may or may not but junk, the filter is probably a 3 month paper filter.

Things you may be able to use out of that kit:
Intercooler
Charge Piping
Catch Can
Inlet and Outlet Oil Lines
Maybe the BOV and wastegate
The FPR may be okay too.

You'll still need:
Some computer modification for boost
bigger injectors (450cc DSM) and resistor box if needed
ARP head studs

Before you boost make sure your engine is healthy enough.
