Default SupraStore Turbo Kit for 1'st Gen?

Bored last night and I came upon the suprastore's Turbo kit. Will this fit the 2nd gen GS also?

Really, I did not know that the kit was that cheap. Of course I won't be getting it now, probably in a couple years when im in college.

$5000 is kind of pricey for a turbo kit. I mean on this car it is super easy.

Manifolds (dime a dozen) - $300
GT30R ball bearing Garrett Turbo - $1200
Tial 38mm wastegate - $250
Downpipe - $200
FMIC core - $700
Alluminum piping and BOV - $500
E-Manage ECU with boost sensor - $475
Bigger injectors - $750
Fuel pump - $100
Nice manual boost controller - $120
Boost gauge - $150

Voila you're at under $5000 even with the super nice Garrett ball bearing turbo and a nice external wastegate. If you use a cheap Turbnetics turbo you can get a much lower price or you can get a turbo with an internal gate to lower price further.

Is there anywhere that produces gorged stronger internals for our GS's so we don't blow our engines? Basically my problem is I want a car that will last me 5 years but with no problems. Will a turbo with stronger internals be just as safe as a stock gs with stock internals?

well, you can get injectors alot cheaper than that.... but 300 dollars for an exhaust manifold... are you kidding... toyomoto's is 850, powerhouse's is 1200... ???

why a GT30 ??
