Which turbo kit is appropriate?

Hi, im new here and i was looking for some help, i did some searching but could not find a lot of details on the difference between turbo kits

I was looking into turbo kits for a 2004 mazda rx8, i came across the greedy and SFR mostly. However they were in the 5-6 grand price range. But i also came across some turbo kit that will apparently work on any car not specifically the RX8 and it was under 2 grand.

Here are the links:
http://www.turbokits.com/Mazda/RX-8/...Turbo_Kit/376/
and
http://www.turbokits.com/Universal_Parts/Turbo_Kits/

Seeing how the RX8 has a rotary engine does that mean i need to get the RX8 specific turbo kit or can i just buy the one from the second link i posted?
Some help would be nice to help me out and clarify the difference

Really? You lie, you did no searching otherwise you would either already know or would be asking a much more intelligent question.

key word is some searching, not 'i searched 5 times' or 'i searched for 20 min'

"SOME" searching could have been Ctrl+F the front page, which would still probably give him more info than he currently has

You can start here, this is the top of the ice berg:
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/getting-most-out-your-greddy-turbo-without-breaking-bank-172542/
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/highest-horsepower-dynos-sc-turbo-nitrous-post-them-here-180037/
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/turblown-turbo-system-differences-226354/

One trick is to use google to search for things in RX8club.com
