    The turbo in that link is very big, to big really. Its also a cheap knock off from china and not a Garrett unit that it may have you believing. The kit also misses out the complicated and expensive parts you will require. Engine management, fuelling, oil drain, manifold and so on so you will have a lot more money you have to throw at it to even get it ticking over.

    Why not Spend the money on Cams / Exhaust / Remap?

    well im open to suggestions in order to improve the car itself.
    what price roughly would cams/exhaust and a remap be?
    its tough getting prices as im living in dublin and dealers are rip off merchants

    2nd that. Even most DIY jobs end up costing more than £1500 and many of then are really poor.

    Not too enticing! for £1500 throttle bodies are an option as labour will be free.
    
    Very good gains
