I see a 1000. dollars spent on the web for the same or better. Borg warner turbos are very good and a ebay manifold, with knock off wastegate. And starting off with 19 lb spring, i would give this more thought!

Im saying you could do better and i would worry about starting out with a 19 lb spring. I suggest you speak with some other experts and determine what a safe goal for your car is, and then build from there.

If you start with a 9lbs spring you should be okay. But after purchasing this kit you still have a long way to making it work. I'm assuming that your car is stock right now. You have probably at least another $6000-$10000 to spend to make a single turbo car.

Yup. People don't realize what is really involved in 'going single' with a completely stock car......

Here in Sweden there is a 20B motor with a HX 60. It makes 825 hp on a Superflow engine dyno at 25 psi boost. good turbo for 20B not for 13B i think.

I see an on-center turbine housing in one of the pictures, make sure it doesn't come with that.
