If you are looking for a complete kit. You have 2 options. Buy a used kit or buy brand new. You won't be able to get a brand new one for 2k. More like 3k

You could also piece your own together.

I wouldn't go with those cheap ones. If you want to do it right then you should spend the money on good stuff. I've seen a few people buying those kits and using the turbo and a few things, but they replaced a lot of the pieces.

if you have a good understanding of turbo systems then go ahead and build your own kit, if not try and get a used one or buy a new one

Hell for the right price, anyone's turbo stuff is for sale on here. I'd sell you mine but I'm not done with it. One thing that's really going to kill you on the price is charge pipes. Universal pipes are complete garbage. These aren't hondas: **** is never just bolt on and done.

build your own kit man, its way cheaper and depending on what deals/how good you are at finding stuff you can get way better quality stuff for cheaper. I pieced my own together for less than 2600 with a clutch and all the gauges I'll need
