It'll probably work like a $500 turbo kit, after you spend a couple grand on all the missing stuff.

You definitely don't wanna do it. If you want to go turbo, the GReddy kit is the cheapest one I'd go with.

not worth the risk.

even if you get it set up properly (those kits have zero useful instructions) piping wise, that turbo is absolute shit and might last 3k miles ABSOLUTE MAX. more like 1k.

you need an aftermarket piggyback (like the emu or int-x) or a reflash to your pcm.

$500 is nice, but its 1. not going to cost that even if you buy that kit and 2. you risk losing your engine, and you will lose the turbo after a short bit.

find a used greddy kit. i've seen them as low as $1500. expect to pay $2000 for a decent kit though.
