thats not really a kit, it sounds like its just the turbo and the manifold you would still need injectors, a way to controll it, IC, charge piping, exhaust (dp) and all the little goodies

good start for a dragster build.

is he building a dragster? that turbo is huge and expensive. it'd take a high dollar motor to handle the power it would make.

its really easy to reverse the headers and weld up your own exhaust to turbo pipes just like that

It just seems like the 2-1 merge isn't very smooth.

I dunno...single turbo V engines always confuse me
