The turbo charger might be universal, but the piping, the exhaust manifold, the computer (piggyback) and the intercooler are not. You would be buying a kit and only using a portion of the parts. You need a kit for your car. The hardest part is getting the exhaust headers for a turbo. And then getting all the piping you will need to get that pressurized air into your intake. By the way, turbo chargers use oil to lubricate and cool themselves down. this means you will need to tap your oil pan and run new lines to get oil to the turbo. Turbo's need special oil which almost no one ever uses. Turbo's spin at incredible RPMs and therefore you need the best oil you can run, and you need to change it much more frequently than you would without the turbo. Turbo's are incredibly hard on oil. They are also hard on your engine parts, you should get a rebuilt engine that can take the boost. You will also need a new fuel managment system to get more gas into your engine, otherwise your only increasing half the equation. Power = Gas + air. All your doing is air, in order for a turbo to really work, you need the gas, which is where the piggyback comes in, it reprograms your computer to use more fuel than it would normally. You will also need to run hi test fuel. You will need to let your car idol before you shut it off because the turbo needs time to cool down after being used. The oil needs to be pumped into the turbo for a little bit (like a minute or 2) to let the turbo cool itself before you shut it off. If you just turn your car off after using it, you could burn up the bearings in the turbo. You will also loose longevity in your engine. Turbo's are not a "buy it on ebay and slap it on" type of modification, it costs ALOT of money to make a turbo work the way it's suppose to. And if your not going to do it right, it's really not worth doing. Save your money, get a car with a factory turbo, it's a way better bet. Or better still, by a car that's fast without a turbo. A turbo is just one more thing to break down, and one more thing to add stress to an engine.
