Hi, I want to upgrade to the turbo fins because that bay tide is tough to beat. My drive has the kickup fins, but NOT the 180.

Is this what I need?: https://www.amazon.com/Hobie-Turbo-Fin-Kit-72067032/dp/B085118DMP/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Turbo+fins+hobie&qid=1620618123&sr=8-5

Does that have all the required parts to upgrade? If not, what am I looking for?

The description says
“Compatible with MD180/GT Kick-Up Drives”
And you say that your MD isn’t 180, so probably it doesn’t match.
I’ve upgraded to Turbo on a regular 180 and it was straightforward.
I suggest calling Hobie to confirm. And I highly recommend not trusting anything that any sales person at any kayak store would tell you about compatibility (unless you don’t mind the hassle of returns).
