*sigh*Honestly, I'd prefer a SC since I want better low-end performance but they're so expensive. A $1,000 turbo is affordable. Couldn't somebody soothe me with his sweet, sweet lies?

When I saw the thread title I was waiting to see the electric fan in the air intake.

You also need some sort of engine managment and a bung installed in your oil pan. So with al the custom work you'll need done for this kit to work, you might end up paying more then the ones Kevera posted.

This one doesn't work on the base models does it? the 1ZZ-fe Motor is what I have, i need a turbo for that, plus an ecu tune for a 2006 automatic.
