Dude, it's already fitted with CVVT system which continuously gives you better on & off road performance, though, if you want to fit a turbo kit, then you can go for a HKS kit <HKS GT3037S - 450/480 PS Output COMPRESSOR:-Wheel- 52/56 Trims - 55.0/57.0 Inducers / 76.2 Major-Housing- 100 Inlet / 50 Outlet - 0.60 A/RTURBINE:-Wheel- 84 Trim - 60.0 Major / 55.0 Exducer-Housing- GT25 inlet / External GT30 outlet; 0.61, 0.73, 0.87, 1.01, 1.12 A/R >

vvt is normally variable valve timing. this is where the timing is adjusted to give the best economy/power - nothing to do with the turbo

are you wanting power or just to say ive turboed my car ? if your wanting power look here to see a quick what needs to be done

what year is your Tiburon?
Wouldnt it be more cost effective and use less time to use an engine already turbocharged? (perhaps you can get one out of a crashed Genesis?)
