also, do most turbo kits, come with full exhaust or usually not? I didn't really get a chance to read up to much on it. Sorry.

When I was evaluating the options, the cost to widen rims was much less than the cost of a new set of rims. Also, there are many companies out there that will create a set of rims to your spec, including the correct offset. CCW out of Florida is one I recall offhand. CCW also knows the correct specs for the jza80 chassis. A few others (more pricey) are HRE, Forgeline, and Fikse.

I forgot to mention in my previous post - when I widened my oem (tt) 9.5" rear rims up to 11.5", I ran another set of unwidened oem tt rear rims on the front. Again, I really liked that setup...I'd probably still be running it today if I didn't need to go even wider.

Turbo kits come with whatever you need to bolt up to the oem exhaust...typically a 'shorty-downpipe' off the turbo. Since aftermarket exhausts are designed to replace the oem exhaust, they will work with any (good) aftermarket turbo kit. Again, here's one na-T kit I can recommend:

...and here's where it mentions the components it uses to connect the new turbo to the oem exhaust:
- 3” SS304 Polished Downpipe w/ Flex Joint
- 3” SS304 Polished Midpipe
(The "SS304 Polished Dump Tube" only connects up to the new (aftermarket) wastegate).

It's a pretty good looking kit. Take a look at the results post-installation:

If all you want is looks with the exhaust, just cut the tip off the oem exhaust and get a nice aftermarket tip welded on:

Again, an oem TT exhaust will flow 500hp just fine. However if the aftermarket turbo system you choose significantly exceeds that hp, you'll want to get a full aftermarket exhaust system.
