SRT is your only bolt on turbo set-up. Either way if you want to push it without blowing it up you will need to tear it apart.

^^It's garbage. More likely to mess up your engine than provide sufficient gains in hp. Piping will likely need modified and the components fail long before they should. If you like repurchasing stuff and installing it twice buy this and report back with what you blow up and have to replace.

Honestly, if you are looking to put a turbo on your car as cheaply as possible I wouldnt expect the vehicle to live through the conversion. Once in awhile you hear of someone actually doing something with one of these turbos but more often than not you hear the words shaft play or cracked housing.

GL either way. My opinion is to do it right the first time and support the vendors that help supply this and other forums.
