The kit costs something like 7k. I think the car made someting like 230rwkw and only ran a flat 14. They also said it did not feel as fast as a Turbo because it lacked the low down torque.It can be done but by the time you buy the kit, install it and get your car custom tuned etc etc etc. You are better of trading it on a XR6T as it is just as fast in stock trim.
