Turbo Kit for fc n/a
hey i have researched this alittle bit and came across this kit. dont know if it will work or how well its made, but from what i hear, turbo kits for n/a fc are hard to come by. mind taking a look and giving opinion. thanks.
I think the proper question to ask is not whether it will bolt to the engine and "work" but rather will it properly function together, with the engine and ONLY the kit, to operate within parameters that would promote power gains. Looking at the kit on eBay, I see no fuel management, FPR, and otherwise means to compensate for the add'l air with add'l fuel. I'd be careful strapping it to a stock NA 13b with nothing else, as things are likely to go south when doing your own trial and error customization. She's already picky and choosy...
A Chinese turbo & exhaust manifold is not a "turbo kit". Adapting any aftermarket turbo to a high compression engine will require extensive modifications and $$. Fuel, fuel control, timing control, intercooling, clutch upgrading, drivetrain upgrading, etc... must all be addressed. This is especially true with something as large as a knock-off GT-45. A turbo with those dimensions is capable of power in the 600+ whp range.

or just buy my turbo and manifold and flywheel/clutch set up and also i have the tranny then you just need the rear end or a tii to na drive shaft and a bunch of other little things pm if your interested
i would definitely avoid ebay turbos and stick with well known brands such as garret, turbonetics, holset, borg warner, or other well known brands. ebay turbos are well known for blowing. also theres more to a turbo kit than just the kit itself. youll need a variety of parts such as injectors, fuel management, and many other supporting mods.
