Look at that picture and point at the part that actually bolts to your Engine. Now find the part that bolts to your exhaust. Now find the part that connects to your throttlebody.

That's a kit you shouldn't waste your time with. When looking for a bolt on turbo kit for ANY non-turbo car, you should only pay attention to kits that come with an exhuast manifold. Having a custom manifold fabricated plus adding engine management would probably double, possibly triple, your investment on a kit that still might not work. Best to search for kits that others have had sucess with, or try to find a good condition used kit to purchase.

Don't listen to these guys, buy it! I have the exact same kit on my car, it's all plug-n-play, in fact, I'm pushing about 450whp right now and I have a dyno to prove it!

OP save your money. If you have to ask if this is legit or not you should already know the answer yourself. This kit = epic fail.
