...i wouldn't use it... head over to turbobricks.com and look at what it takes to do a F+T conversion... using proper volvo parts for the manifold at minimum... may cost about the same but you'll have a better built system

You get what you pay for. "T3/T4" does not mean GARRETT. $549 means some chinese piece of E36 M3 that you'll have to replace with a decent turbo later on anyway.

yup look at what some of the ssautochrome manifolds and turbos have done in the past... not so good (compressor housings splitting at the cast marks, cracked manifolds ect...same china crap you get in that kit...
