Off the peg turbo kits

[_Jax_]

I was looking at buying a 524 manni and an adaptor flange, then stealing the factory turbo setup of some scrapper when I found this...

Any good? Does anyone have experience with full kits like this or can recommend the best one out there? This manifold alone is looking pretty tempting though.

That looks nice.

Is that the same as the one Tee just bought?

im thinking of getting that turbo kit aswell but im in two minds.

Anyone thinking of doing a turbo conversion should pm Ant, he's the man with the answers.. .. plus i think the most important aspect of going F.I is the management. standard motronis is not good inuf so will need a standalone unit like megasquirt. the rest could be fabricated or sourced elsewhere like the manifold, turbo and the intercooler...

the pic of the tubular manifold in the picture is the same as the one im running on my car. the metal is not the thickest but is is a very good manifold and very good flow on it!!!
