Welcome to the forum .

You would have to tell people more about your car like what engine , what transmission , what modifications or what had been installed so far before even asking for a suggestion on what turbo kit you will install for the car or you run the risk of getting a bad advice and eventually wasting money or worst damaging your engine.

Good Luck !

Welcome to the forum! There are many "kits" out there to look at but like Gerrb said, you really need to better specify what you have and what you are looking to achieve. I would say you will be looking in the mid $3000 range to start. Turbo, intercooler, piping, manifold, fuel delivery, tuning, mapecu or similar, gauges for monitoring... It starts to add up quickly.

I would make sure that you have a properly maintained car first. Timing belt, seals, water pump, gaskets, spark plugs... No sense in turboing the car and then having maintenance issues after. Just my opinion but i'm sure others will agree.

Honestly is is definately cheaper to piece it together yourself then buy a kit.

You can buy cheap turbo manifold, intercooler, piping, etc....

But most important things not to cheap out on are the Turbo, Wastegate, and BOV
