    If it does fit, then this is tempting even for me. However, I have already invested in making my car naturally aspirated as a daily driver. My next car will have to be turbo... stock. Most likely the WRX. Why spend that extra money on pistons, rods, sleeve kits, and turbo kit when you can get a car that has all that ready for you and with more potential already? I'm keeping my Corolla because it's fun to drive. I don't want to make it into something it's not and ruin the image.

    I don't think this kit will fit well.

    i would def. build the engine before the turbo. its better to be safe than sorry. but it is a good deal for the kit. maybe get a different (but same size) turbo later. it might be more reliable in the long run

    Seems shady. 99-06? He can't even get the years right. Plus what fits the 03+ could very well not fit the 98-02. The manifold has to clear the firewall. He needs to get his facts straight before selling. Email the seller for more info on specifics.
