Lightbulb Custom Turbo kit???

So my buddy has a 2011 Scion tC and he want's to go turbo. My question is has any one tried taking a 2010 Turbonetics kit and used it on a 2011? I think the manifolds? I'm hoping the MAP sensor flange is the same as well. I think I can doctor up the IC piping to fit. Then ill do a custom down pipe and open dump right off the wastegate aslo a custom 3" S-pipe back to 2.5 exhaust.

Why doesn't the manifold fit the rear flanges look the same...?
Also is the MAF senor the same on 2010 as 2011?
I know there's going to be a few problems with the IC piping from the 1gen but ill use what i can and cut and add couplers to make it work.

Also if you could post any pic that would be very helpful!!!

Were going to use a TURBONETICS Turbo

head flanges are not the same and won't work on the TC1 to TC2. Save yourself time and effort.

this is what you need to understand, cheap turbo kits have a great tendency to turn into expensive turbo kits very easily. Just save up and get a proper kit.

Its so easy to say just buy the already made kit that's not why I started these thread! I want ideas and help if your thoughts are buy a permade kit then keep them to yourself. I want to make something myself and have something different! I want to better his car for the cheapest cost witch I know I can do.

Would be nice if you can get everything at that price and they are in good condition would save yourself around $1000 but only thing i like about the premade kits are the warranties they come with.

Well the kits new are $4,800 by the time you buy wideband and gauges and stuff your looking at about $5400. So by doing it these way I figure ill be ruffly be saving around $2500 but I think it will be more. The turbo comes with a warrant and that's the only one I really care about.
