Why not just get the Kleemann S/C kit. It's been around a while, people that get it seem happy with it, will add about 80+rwhp from what I've seen.
Is the squires turbo one that goes just before the muffler? That seems to be the new trend as you don't overheat already crowded engine compartments and it's an easier install and you have cool air under the car to draw from.

ya i think those are the rear mounted turbos. They replace a muffler. I can see some issues if you run into rain though. I was thinking of a twin turbo setup. Just not sure about the engine managment side of things.

From what I've heard Kleenman is not producing the kit anymore due to low demand. Apparently no one at Kleenman has ever taken an econmics class. Not many people are willing to pay $10k for 6 psi kit

Thanks for the link, but I'm not interessted in thier set up. Something about haveing a $1000 turbo hanging under the car just bothers me. Another worry is the exhaust plumbing to the turbo is under alot of stress from weight and vibration. Most likey to cause cracking in the plumbing or turbo housing. My last worry is the oil pressure feed line, and return line, this set up just doesnt sound like it's gonna be reliable.
