    Not to sound like a jerk but you might not get any responses to your thread. Due to the fact this topic/question has been asked every which way from Sunday. The bottom line is do a search on the site for 7AFE turbos and do the homework yourself. I have a turbocharged 7AFE and don't mind answering questions but direct them to an individual that has done this rather than a question on the forum. The usual response to this thread will be Oh Boy not another newbie? With someone asking the same question without researching it gets annoying.
    Just look at the thread posted a few days ago regarding a turbo for a 2001 Corolla. No one has responded yet. I wonder why? Again check me out and if you have questions send me an e-mail. And finally to answer your question : THERE ARE NO KITS FOR 7AFE's. All has to be custom to work. Don't believe the Hype.

    Thats all a lie. There is a all bolt on kit for 93-97 Corollas. Juss check out the site www.turbo-kits.com. Obviously someone didnt do all there homework. Yeah it is kinda hard to do custom Turbo for the 7A-Fe... there are alot of different ways to take it. But juss check the site out.

    kits exist, but they are POS...dont buy any "kit" as 99% of the time it wont fit...and most of the time you dont get your 2-3k back...

    Again guys,

    THERE ARE NO BONIFIED TURBO KITS OUT THERE. Custom is the only way to go for 93-97 model yr corollas. If you want to buy prefab kit from one of those vendors currently selling them be my guest. And for the gentleman (96Rolla) that said this is a lie. I suggest YOU go do your homework. I just hope (96rolla) that your 2 or 3 posts on this site are not representative of the knowledge you have about your car because if so your car mods will cost you a lot of money in the long run. My car is turbocharged I think that allows me the experience to say that from all the bitchin and moaning I have heard about those out of the box kits makes me feel better that I went custom. And for those with their thinking caps on doesn't it seem funny that all the vendors selling the corolla turbo kit all have 2 types of turbo's available the "superior" and the "extreme" kit. Well you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out boys and girls they are being sold to those vendors from the same company that sells the non-fitting POS turbo.
    Guys i don't proclaim to be an expert but I do know some things about my car. Just tryin to share some knowledge is all.

    No Problem J,

    I learned the hardway and this project doesn't have to be that costly if done right. Good luck and Holla if you get stuck on something

    Its true, you don't modify a corolla because its easy to make fast or look good... you only modify it if you want something different...

    Apology accepted. Not the type ridicule those that have been taken advantage of. It could very well have been one of us.
