i personally hate buying things off of ebay and have heard many horror stories about peeps buying turbo kits online and the kits dont come with all the stuff and it always looks different in person just be careful. and you have alot of other upgrades to do to a 420a to get it to hold boost just do your research it before u jump into it be really careful!

Good answer Atown. For the record, I wouldnt buy a turbo kit from Ebay... You know you need a lot of supporting mods just to install that right?

That kit is a POS but there is one company on ebay that sells a halfway decent kit, and that has been used by alot of people. I believe the company's name was treadstone.

Yeah here is the link...notice the large jump in price
Treadstone Kit

The other places that sell a good kit is
CI Motorsports
Hahn Kit

But like dusty said its gonna cost more than just the kit to be able to run the turbo

Dude seriously use the search function.

eBay is NOT a performance part store.
