It is a greddy turbo kit though. I forgot to mention that. My bad. it has 1500 miles on it.

its the jdm kit...theres a few things that need to be modified for it to fit on the xB. That was designed for the automatic 1.5l bB over in Japan. Its still pretty cheap though, but it is used. Also 5-7 weeks for shipping is a lil long unless you have a lot of patience. I think the only main thing that really needs to be modified is the downpipe to clear the tranny. I would definitely do some research on that though cause Im not 100% familiar with the JDM greddy kit, I was using the TSI kit a few years back on my xB

I have the jdm kit made for the Bb, there are some mods that need to be made, as for the downpipe clearance, thats not to bad, but the oil pan does need to be modified a little bit I had to do some modifications to it, as well as some custom welding for the intercooler piping and BOV flange, but it works quite well, I am really happy with it
