hope you have a thick wallet....intercooler, total reroute of the exhaust, wastegate, blowoff valve, and not to mention that that turbo is ment for a motor with very low compression and it would probably blow the heads right off the motor

It will answer all your questions. Its not as easy as you may think.

no, the exhaust housing will be way to big for your gas engine to ever really develop power. Not to mention the turbines are completely wrong. But you could change turbines and the exhaust housing and maybe have to change the intake as well and....

yea just buy a setup for your engine...

I don't know about the diesel turbos, but I'm in the planning stage of a RMT for my '97 Silverado. Stock compression is around 9.3:1 which is fine for mild boost, 5-8psi. I'm planning on starting there but with a progressive alky kit to come on around 4-6psi. Anything lower and it will bog. But I won't go over 10-12psi. After all liquids can only compress so much and these motors weren't made for boost.

Do some research. You can't beat FI for power. I plan on spending about $1500 for the whole thing. This won't be a package deal. I have done some research and can peice a system together pretty well. I just need the $$ to do that now.
