On ebay there is a turbo kit for sale and was wondering what the experts thought of this and whether it would work for my car:

When I do go ahead and get the 1980 road worthy again I would like to improve engine performance to give the car better acceleration...I know about removing weight (the biggest problem with weight now is that of the driver since the last time I drove the car I weighed in at about 140, now pushing 205 I guess I could drive naked and lose 5 lbs there)
But seriously...I would appreciate thoughts on a kit like this. It does not say whether it is intended for a fuel injected car...( I am not a mechanic but would certainly like to assist in the mechanical portions of the rebuild) I have changed the brakes, oil, front hood latch, outside door handle, emergency cable, cleared carb jets, all fairly simple but part of my road side mechanic experience, but certainly not qualified to put a turbo on my car or judge whether this kit would be suited for my car.
