   Its missing more than it has. There is no manifold, no down pipe, no way of adding extra fuel, no engine management or anything like that. Also the turbo is a cheap knock off and extremely large. I have only ever seen a saxo running such a large turbo and it had a fortune spent on the gearbox and engine internals to take it. Not really the sort of project you would start to buy cheap parts for. The shipping makes it very expensive as well. You would likely get stung on import duty on top.

   Will be faster than a VTS. But if you dont do it properly it will blow its internals in no time, be very very unreliable or both. Will also make a massive difference how much work you do yourself, if you get it done for you your looking at double the price due to the labour

   Its perfectly possible to make it considerably quicker than a VTS
