Default FS SC430 Turbo Kit

What do you guys think about this?

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv...095967898.html

How much power do you think this might add and how bad would be the install? I have no idea with turbos so if yall can give me some insight on this thatll be awesome.

Something doesn't feel right.. I'd be worried about the condition of the turbo, quality of the kit, tuning, and the auto tranny.

Too much risk involved IMO

Yeah, I didn't see the exhaust manifold/headers either. The kit looks like it was stripped out of several cars. The intercooler is on the small side, so shouldn't be running more than 5psi on that T3. Might be safe, but you will still need to bump the fuel with a larger fuel pump(looks like it's included) and larger injectors to be on the safe side. Not to mentioned all this will need to be tuned on a dyno.

If you're a DIY, might be fun if you have a daily driver to spare.
