   youd need something to add extra fuel, and youd need to lower compression.

   you'll still have to buy a manifold, and you'll probably have to then modify it afterwards to fit the t3/4 turbo. a friend of mine has a similar if not the same kit for his civic and he's always banging on about how rubbish the turbo is. far too big, laggy up until very high into the rev range and then he has to change gear.
   turbo is also forever going wrong as the t3/4 is a cheap chinese hybrid and not a garrett.
   
   get a little bit more cash together and have a look at the cituning kits or dpengineering kits.

   It does not even have a manifold in it. There is no management system. Turbo looks to be a cheap china knock off. The turbo is to big for most setups as well. It looks to just be a load of cheap bits thrown together to look good. Its a long way off from being a ready to go operable turbo kit. Personally I would not even consider getting it even just for parts.

   what axracing said. Basically just a load of cheap bits put together.
   
   Half of it isnt required or isnt much use, and the import tax would be killer!

   pile of cheap bits, with most of the essential bits missing. no manifold, nothing to lower compression, no management. a total waste of money. seriously wtf do the yanks know about turboing a saxo??????????
