Sleeper is what I am going for.

As for HP numbers, nothing drastic. My goal is to get ATLEAST 300hp, id like to be 315-320hp with this kit. I'm running stock internals/compression, so I'm not going to do anything to risk blowing my engine up. lol!

I'll try to give you a complete list of what I have so far, this is off of the top of my head.

- XS Power T3 T67 Turbocharger (.84AR Hot .70AR Cold, 3" V-Band Out)
- XS Power Tubular Manifold (OEM gasket)
- Ebay Intercooler 2.5" inlets
- Universal Intercooler 2.5" Piping (will be cut/welded, to fit)
- XS Power Wastegate with 7psi spring (open dump tube)
- 3" Downpipe (universal, but fits)
- HKS SSQV Blow off valve (with i/c piping adapter)
- HKS Turbo Timer
- Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
- AEM UEGO Wideband
- Apex'i SAFC II
- TurboEast Black Box
- 4an Oil Feed line (to turbo)

i still need:
- 10an stainless steel braided oil line (From turbo)
- Oil line fittings
- 3" V-band clamp
- Custom midpipe from downpipe -> current catback exhaust

Lol. It is possible. Idk if I'd do trunk, I've heard a lot if bad things with quality of fitment. Hood is a possibility I need a new one forsure. I'd definitely lately paint it if I got one too. But I'm gonna worry about aesthetic appeal later. When I'm done with boost, Im gonna finish my suspension setup. Adding front and rear tanabe sways, tanabe underbraces, and front strutbar. But that should be quicker, the cost of those is almost nothing compared to boosting my car haha.

Stay tuned..

No. Just the Turbo. The XS power kit from na-t is legit, there is a lot of good feedback from everyone who has purchased it. I just didn't have like 1200$ on hand to opt for the whole kit. Its essentially the same thing, na-t kit comes with universal I/c piping that you need to modify, same goes for the downpipe. But I'm not hating on it, I would have bought it if I had all the money at once.
