You would need to change the exhaust from the block. The kit doesn't come with everything?

Re: twin turbo kit from ebay question????

Make sure the kit has everything. Turbos, manifolds, intake plumbing, exhaust plumbing, electronics (FMU, etc.). Otherwise it is going to be a big pain in the @$$ to get it to fit and run right. Also, to make real power with turbos you need to have an engine built for it. That means forged pistons, rods, and crank. If you plan to make over 550-600HP you should seriously consider an aftermarket block. You'll also want solid copper head gaskets, head and main studs. Honestly, if your goal is just to make 450-500HP I'd just do a regular buildup with heads, cam, intake, etc. It will be cheaper and easier to live with in the long run.

Re: twin turbo kit from ebay question????

yes i know i have to mod many things but the thing is that kit look so cheap. I asked the if they have pics of the kit already in a 3rd gen car and they says no pics. HHHmmm... how you can sale a turbo kit without pics of the test car???? I think that kit is weird at that price and i decided to ask if somebody have a experience with it.Thanks

I'd stay away if they won't give pics or even tell you what is all in the kit. They might say complete kit and leave out some of the important items you will need to make it work.
