check classifieds on here and clubsciontc.com....there are way too many used kits available out there around that price range....you might just have to swap out the maf mount and wire harness for fic or e-manage if the year is not compatable.

if you want to build a turbo kit for less than 2k, either buy a used one, or take your time and find a good deal on everything. i took about 6 months peicing mine together but i didn't pay full price on a single piece of it.

you can piece together kits from many sights. www.dezod.com and www.atpturbo.com will have everything and dezod will usually hook you up with pricing. i wouldnt limit yourself to 2 grand tho if you are going piece by piece. get nice good quality equipment
