The fact that it is available for just $500 more is pretty incredible, granted I know next to nothing about the turbine. I've heard that it's a GT3076 knock-off...that's about as far as I know about it. People usually make around 300 wheel or a bit more on pump gas with GT30 framed turbos on this car which is well within the safety zone if tuned properly. So I'm not sure where the built motor comment is coming from?

That's really helpful, thanks. Do you know where the safety zone ends for the stock engine in terms of HP? And at what point I should think about installing an oil cooler? I hadn't even considered this since the kit is advertised as plug and play.
