it would be cheaper to get a 3s-gte and swap it in...
$2500 for the kit, and it doesn't come with an intercooler? not worth it, IMO |

To answer your question categorically. No. Burien turbos are horrendously overpriced and there are much better options out there for the money.

Yeah, the burien kit is pure ****. You should NEVER boost a car without an intercooler.
