Not worth it in general.

Their oil pump they provide with the kit is subpar on quality and the turbos they provide are not the best either.

You could build your own rear mount turbo for much less money.

+1

You could easily build your own kit for half of what they want for their kit. Just dont go over 7-8 lbs boost. The transmissions arent made to handle more than 10, and when it shifts, it adds 2lbs of boost to shift into the next gear (7-8 setting + 2 on the shift = 9-10). Good luck!
