Elbow grease is fun!!
It builds character!

You cant mod a car w/o having to make something creative!

People have used Greddy kits on S13's, but it's totally not worth it because you have to custom some stuff to make it work and that just defeats the point of getting a "kit".

I am peicing together a turbo now that would cost me easily 2800 as a kit and im buying it all seperate for around 1900 depending on my shipping prices, so if you do have the little extra money for a full kit then by all means go for it but if you dont have that then do some research and make sure the parts will fit your car, and in the long run you will save some money and will prob learn a little more about your car

the only reason i'd buy a kit is if it were carb legal so that i would have some leverage with a cop.

i still wouldn't have a cat or any of that stuff anyway though... just a sticker to shut the cop up.

That place is ok I guess... but IMO nothing special since they don't do the piping anyways. You can go to a store and but all the parts they offer 1 by 1 so I don't see that much of an advantage

Sorry, I meant to quote 1993240sx,
I was refering to the FMU's turbo kits generally use, as opposed to some other form of fuel management.

I would be careful with turbocalculator...

Not my experience but doesn't seem like the best idea.
