Not entirely on topic, BUT
Keep in mind the additional cost of installation. For my scoobie I bought cams wanting to make the large increase in power after maxing out bolt-ons (it was N/A); found a great price for them and pulled the trigger. Was so excited until I went to get them installed (its more than I can do in my garage over a weekend), and found out its was $2000 extra for labor, parts (new seal, etc), and to re-tune for the cams.
Just sayin' FYI
But I've been dying to hear an RA with some cams, haha ;^P

I know that the problem is the installation but i just hope it does some numbers, but eh sound is more than enough of a reason i think iono

Save your money with the stock turbo.

The kelfords won't give you the lope you are after either.

This could also have to do with your engine configuration

In my experience any time you crack the block on a modern car its $1-2K for labor. Scoobies are actually extremely easy cars to work on, they are affectionately known as "legos".
