Welcome. Look into MKturbo or Kraken turbo setups. Both will need a standalone ECU and larger injectors. Both offer kits with just manifold/turbo/downpipe, but also have options to include an intercooler and/or exhaust.

Another vote here for Kraken turbo setups (I have one and am probably biased because of that).
Welcome to the forum! There's lots of great info on here regarding setting your car up for turbocharging. There's lots of super-knowledgeable guys on here that are wiling to help, but you're going to get blasted if you ask easily-searchable questions without doing some digging for answers first.
Spark notes on going from OEM to turbo'd setup: Install and tune standalone ECU first (Megasquirt ECUs are popular round deez parts), install bigger injectors and retune, then add turbo, continue tuning. Spend lots of hours reading threads on this forum during the whole process.

Looks like you track your Kraken kit? If so, how has heat management been? I've got a new low mount system waiting on the shelf when I get block back together. I've just got a little 2554R, and my thinking was I wanted something to spool quickly for exiting corners but I'm curious how your 2560 does.

I cracked my downpipe as well at the flex pipe but that was user error. One of my exhaust hangers decided to disappear and I unknowingly did a track day with my exhaust flailing around more than it should’ve.
That 2554r/low Mount combo is gonna spool fast!

I'll continue to derail the Ebay thread by suggesting anything but the 2554 for the track. It's way too small. You'll be in upper rpms like z_waaaaaaaaaaaz said, which is completely out of the 2554's power band. They're not much better than MSM IHI turbos, which I've blown a number of those up at ~200-220hp from constant high RPM, I wouldn't be surprised if the 2554 would do the same, maybe a bit better.

Crazy horsepower and a reliable setup aren’t mutually exclusive.
Please keep the build thread updated throughout and after the install.
