turbo?

Ok well i have a 2000 Celica GT.. so far i only have an I/H/E, and mostly body and a lot of interior work for shows. I am thinking about moving onto turboing the car, but i dont have a lot of cash. ebay has that cheap kit for aroung 1100 but that doesn't include any kind of tuning system, a turbo exhaust injectors or a fuel pump. is that kit worth it to just get me going, as long as i upgrade the manifold, front mount and turbo eventually? Also, is there anyway around spending hundreds of dollars for tuning, liek any type of tuning kit that is recremended.
thanks guys

the link for the kit is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-0...sspagenameZWDVW

The manifold and turbo I would question, but if your planning to rebuy those parts at a later time I would just forget it about it. Just get yourself a kit from a well known brand.

yeah to be honest i would not trust an ebay turbo kit. I've heard stories of faulty intercoolers, wrong charge pipes, wrong gaskets, etc...
