i forget now what engine you have..the 2.4L? depending on what state you live in, you could get a high flow CAT...and a header...that makes a BIG difference on some engines...

The RD series tib has the Beta 1 2.0 or 1.8L in the US.

There are SEVERAL TURBO KITS available for your car.

Alpine makes a kit, but it's very low PSI. I wouldn't recommend it.

Speed-Factor makes 2 very good kits, with everything you need. www.speed-factor.com

Or just come to www.rdtiburon.com and see all the rest of the info we talk about Turbo's on daily.

The ONLY SC kit for the RD's out there is Alpine's SC kit, and it sucks ***.

What all does this kit come with? does it have all the fuel mods with it or do you haveto buy those seperate. because you can not just boost a car and expect it to be all good . your going to need bigger injectors or a fifth injector and a means to adding more fuel like a APEXI SAFC and you also need a voltage clamp to wire in to the MAF so you dont throw codes and you will also need a boostcontroller and some way to tune in your car to make sure you are not running lean . Just some thing to think about. I built the 98 tiboron for under 2000 with everything . build your own kit you will save money and have a more custom setup instead of just having the same thing everybody else has
