BEGI Shanghai Stay or Go

BEGI Shanghai Stay or Go
I purchased a used Shanghai kit locally from a 1996 at a good price and intend it for my 1999. Has 550 injectors, LC1, Ebay Intercooler, Stainless lines, and BOV. I am building my 99 for a weekend car and an occasional autocross/track day, and I am looking for 200WHP max. Is this kit a good idea for that use? Will it be reliable? I don't want to spend my track days working on the car, but I think the turbo would be great fun on the street. I am also considering putting a header on the car and selling the kit; maybe buying a better setup in the future. Any suggestions?

You may need to do some work to the downpipe in order for it to fit in your 99 as I believe the NA and NB are slightly different.
Ensure you have a proper engine management setup and you're good to go.
200whp is easily attainable with what you have.

Does anyone have any track experience with this kit? Anything I need to modify or watch for with occasional track use? I assume Iconel studs at the manifold and possibly welding two piece downpipe. Based on the comments, I think I will get the Megasquirt, injectors, and clutch together and figure out the tune so I can then install the turbo kit.
