first of all, if you get a $300 ebay manifold, it'll crack. you'll need to spend more money on it. installation and tuning will cost alone $2000. when people say turbo costs $6000-$7000, they don't mean parts alone. that's with everything included.
you can get away with $4000 including installation but god knows what you'll end up with. that's if you go with the cheap way like VAFC, keeping the stock exhaust, POS ebay manifold...

Spending more upfront to have a flawless setup and peace of mind is highly recommended.

And, to compare to say Greddy's kit .. would it be safe to assume that Greddy's kit is easier for a DIY install?
And when you say "everything included", I'm thinking:
- Kit + EMS + injectors
- exhaust
- clutch (necessary immediately?)
- gauges
Potentially necessary:
- wider tires
Is that accurate assuming a setup for under 10psi? Thanks.
