      all i need to buy on top of that would be the turbo exhaust manifold and the engine management software, so it looks like i could have it all done and running for about 1500-1650 if i play my cards right, but it would start with me spending 800 on this kit, so any opinions?
      RUN AN INTERCOOLER
      it costs a little more but your so much safer with it.
      but thats a nice set up id say do it....

      another thing could be to buy a 1.6 L enigne to work on while you still drive and build the turbo to it then just take a week and drop it all in and tune it all....just another thought

      thats what i plan on doing because i want to use the lanos head and intake because i plan on adding nitrous and also get new pistons from a holden barina and moly rings if i can get them made anywhere.
