There's one guy in the Forced Induction section running this kit. I think he's using everything except the turbo.

This kit is basically the hot side piping only. There is no blow off valve, intercooler pipes, intake tube for the turbo inlet, filter, or oil lines for the turbo.

Also, the turbo that is included with theses kits have been known to come apart

I would look somewhere else if you are looking for a turbo kit.

how much do you think it would cost to get the kit bolted up? and maybe just get a differant turbo.

Probably like 3 more grand. If you can weld than that cost drops dramatically.

I would use a Master Power T70 for the turbo.
Get a whole bunch of piping
Blow off valve
Oil feed and return lines
Bigger inectors
Fuel pump
Different exhaust, your true duals won't work with this setup.
Tune
Clutch
Then save money for when the 10 bolt breaks.
Extra money for little things you find that you need along the way.

A turboed F-body would be pretty fun though

really, I was gonna run a real low boost set up(5psi 450whp~set up) till I could pick up th rest of the stuff(fuel related) you dont think the stock fuel system could handle that. I already have an upgraded clutch, and yes I can weld.
