Time To Turbo the Max!
Ive doing a lot of research on tubroing a car and know that it takes a lot of time to manage and also keep up with it which i already do with my car right now and Ive also found a decent Turbo kit that already comes with everything beside the manifold which i know you have to make you're self which is this

But Thought i'd switch out the turbo from the kit with this Turbo
http://goo.gl/dftEHs
I've found a place that would install it all for me because i do have some good knowledge with everything but rather have somebody way more experience then me haha, Also i know that ill need need fuel injectors, fuel pump, shift kits, perm brakes.
Just wanted to see if anybody thinks that my idea is good or if i need to tune i few things.

My turbo by itself cost as much as that entire kit.

I don't know why you wouldn't just want to do it right. This kit comes with junk mechanical parts that probably won't last, and standard intercooler stuff. You could just buy an intercooler piping set and save 400 for real parts.
This stuff gets very expensive though. I don't know your budget, but while you can say that you just need a manifold built and everything else can be purchased, just wait until you get everything else and it comes down to actually having one made. No one in my city wanted to touch my setup. I had to laugh, the Honda tuning shop accused me of dreaming of some Fast and Furious car setup. I was looking at a couple thousand bucks just to have a shop slap a simple manifold together, and I'd be without the car for about a month just for that.
I HIGHLY recommend finding a place that you trust that would be willing to build this stuff for you before you buy anything. Also, the little things add up. You pretty much need a new/replacement of everything by the end of the project with the age of our cars.

it's the simple fact that people want to go fast and don't want to pay for it. also add to the part where most people think bolting on a turbo is like throwing on an intake and most won't spend the time to do the research.
