Default Re: I want..

Honestly I only see 2 problems with the kit. No exhaust manifold to mount the turbo on which might not be that much of a problem... somebody out there probably makes one or can modify one. The other issue is the electronics. You will have to figure out how to fool the pcm into not seeing the boost. Fueling is going to be an issue also because you cant increase the pressure.
But as for the kit it looks pretty complete! The know how to install is another issue. And as others have said you will have to do some work on the bottom end... lower compression, forged rods and pistons etc.....
Best thing you could do would be to sell your 01 and get a newer gt. From what I understand the 03's are the easiest to modify from the factory. Install a Stage 1 pcm and injectors and you'll have more power than you can hook up!
I have an 06 gt with a manual trans and Stage 1. can't really put the power down till I hit 3rd. Spins all the way through 1st and most of second gear!
