you could but to get any REAL bennefit from it you would need to get the 800 dollar turbo compressor wheel upgrade since you have a 2.4 you already have a semi solid amount of airflow compared to our 2.0's and that is all a turbo/motor really is is an air pump..... so i am thinking if you put it on and put it at max for it's efficency with out the k04 compressor wheel upgrade you wouldn't gain a ton..... maybe 50-70whp but don't quote me on that

The cost of getting all the pieces from the 08+, plus the tuning, plus the injectors, plus this, plus that....you might as well do a custom route, or get a kit.

If you buy OEM, you'll be looking at $6k easy for the parts from a dealer. Plus, those turbos really arnt that good. Im waiting to see someone who goes pure custom, does a huge turbo, and then ups the boost. Thing would be mean.

anything will work with enough time and money.

Some modifications will need to be done, plus injectors, and the cooling/oiling of the turbo.

Plus..tuning.

I'd say no.

I'd grab all of his good suspension parts, brakes, anything you know of that's going to directly bolt on.

I think you'd spend more trying to get it on there and working than you would for a custom build or kit that you know will work... for less output since it's a limited, stock setup.

Im looking into getting a full kit for my 2.4 as well. This is the email i recived from one of our supporting vendors.

A fully installed system is $4000 USD. Special sale, limited time only!

When were you thinking of sending the car to us? Soon I hope, as the
busy season rapidly approaches.


Thanks!
