Don't "piece" a turbo kit together. Save your pennies and drop the dough on a complete kit from a reputable company. Do all the leg work and find out what you need to do to the car in order to turbo it and then get the kit and after install have it tuned.

I've seen a lot of engines ruined by people "piecing" together a turbo kit. Well, mostly hondas and I don't really consider that a bad thing *drops steaming pile on a honda hood*

Here's a link to Hahn's 05-07 kit. There's also a lot of great info on this site for turboing your car.

Spend the $3200 on the Garret kit, but some 60# injectors and get a custom tune. You'll be spending almost if not the same peicing the kit together. Look at Mike25 he spent alot of money getting his kit put together.
