        With a huge turbo and nothing actually meant to be fitted to a Festiva. Likely manufactured in China and of very questionable quality. I wouldn't buy that... it would likely be the worst purchase of your life for numerous reasons.

          I don't know why everyone is down on this. It sez most customers install it in a weekend, and get 485 HP with 25 pounds of boost. What could possibly go wrong?

              i think with this turbo on a stock festy after the first take off you might have four holes in your hood, one for each piston flying

                Well, the eBay Chinese turbos are decent if you immediately tear them down and rebuild with garrett internals. I know a few people who have done this.

                And a B3 probably couldn't even spool this thing enough for it to do any damage (or gain any power).

                Not defending this kit or it's seller though. You might as well build your car out of a dollar store.

                Also: painfully obvious this guy just copy n' pasted a list of vehicles onto the same kit:

                  With each different sized engine this turbo could be installed on, the HP numbers and how efficient it is would vary greatly

                  1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
                  1988 323 GT - B6T Powered

                  1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

                  If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                    I would completely agree with you on all fronts... but regardless of how harmless this kit could potentially be, the OP is better off spending the $1000 on an Aspire swap and a B6/B8 if they have cash to burn.

                      Yup. Sticking in a B8, that way you get better brakes, wheel choices (4x100) and the same power as a B3 with a turbo, probably at less expense than this kit. And later you can turbo the B8!

                          It does not include a manifold, will require alot of fabrication to get this kit installed. You'll be better off buying the proper parts individually (turbo, intercooler, ect) that are the correct size for your motor.
