They make good stuff. What size turbo are you considering getting? With any aftermarket turbo you should look into engine management. That is, of course, unless you like buying new engines.

If you aren't looking for a lot more power, I'd suggest just getting a turbo-back exhaust. That will gain you some nice power for about the same money and a lot less work.

Easy. 6 bolts and about 20 minutes worth of time.

It depends on what you mean by "big". Figure on about 20 more wheel hp.

The FP upgrade is really nice for the stock turbo. Port, polish, new compressor wheel, clip on the turbine wheel. Very, very similar specs to a VF30.
