Run a compression check and a leak down test first. If those are within spec, then it's cool to go na-t.

If you want a really 'good' turbo kit then buy the Boost Logic kit or if your on a budget as most of us are, look at the Xspower kits.

Sign up on ClubNA-T, if your driveline's in good shape 350whp isn't difficult at all to achieve (especially through a manual which will put down higher numbers than an auto). As far as exhaust goes, a lot of people just have them made custom, depends on the look you're going for.
