You forgot to mention what it costs. I think thats the #1 factor in "value"... Is it a better deal than if you pieced it all together yourself? What about oil and water lines? What are you going to do about tuning and fuel delivery?

i'm guessing that the turbo is most of that price. I think it could be pieced together cheaper with a little waiting to find some nice parts. If you decide to get the kit get back to us on how it works, and how they were to deal with. Good luck.

I wouldn't want to deal with a company with the word "cheap" in their name.

I was thinking most of that was the manifold, do you really need the most expensive mani, dump, and down pipe? and then a cheap turbo?
but yea, definitley would be way more than 300 hp

CheapTurbo is a Very Reputable Company.

All that stuff you found is BEYOND quality. Yes, you could go with a more expensive GT ball bearing turbo, but it is not like the turbo they are giving you is of low quality.

You WILL need to upgrade the injectors, and utilize some form of programmable management. Power FC, Haltech etc. The fuel rail is not so necessary. 550cc injector and a boost controller are in order.

If you are going to order it, ask them to change it to a 44mm wastegate. The other great thing about that kit is that changing the turbo will be simple within any other T3 foot print, which is pretty much everything you will want to run on an SR.
