you dont need a specific turbo that says "ka24de turbo"... t3/t4, gt series, stock t25's there's tons of turbo options. Do some searching on here and zilvia.net and you'll find plently of setups. I know Jeff at 240sxmotoring is running 3 ka-t's with sc series

Please do your self a favor and dont buy a "kit"
Spend some time, do some research, and build your own turbo setup. That way youll know alot more about your own setup, and will know its limits and potential. And you'll be able to figure out where the "bottle neck" of your setup is, so you know where to upgrade later on.
Just spend some hours on the internet researching various turbo setups, (Not even KA or 240 specific) and make sure you understand the purpose for each part.

I somewhat disagree with a lot of the posts here.
Kits aren't that bad. why go through the trouble of piecing together a turbo setup when a kit is available?
I understand the posts about "learning" and stuff, but some people just want to have turbo and don't want to deal with locating/calculating; others who want turbo have no plans of going beyond the kit setup. T
here's a place in this world for turbo kits - but just because it's not for you don't tell other people that kits suck ***.
When's the last time you bought a car that you put together yourself?
=P
EDIT: Thinking about it, the only downfall to a kit is the outrageously high prices... some kits actually cost more than the car you're putting it on.

that's what i was thinking about... either way, if you are installing the kit or installing your own "kit" you are still getting the experience of working on your car, just a difference in parts
