If they dont respond to yuor emails, how well do you think they are going to treat you as a customer? I think its a sign man, find another kit.

Definately find another turbo kit even if you have to pay more. I checked out their site and a lot of the words were mispelled like they just threw it together in one night. Then the turbo on the kit looks like the cheap ebay turbo's that everyone says are glued together and break the first time they spool up. Manifold looks wierd and the whole site just doesn't look legit.

If you budget is that low, I would suggest buying piece by piece to get better stuff over time. I got pretty good deals on all my turbo kit parts and made sure to get quality things (for the most part haha)and it still came to about $1900. I was figuring about 1500 to spend originally, but I went over that obviously. You are going to want extra money after you get everything because you will always need a few more things from the local auto store and hardware store.

$1900..not bad at all. dont mind spending a couple hundred extra. still on stock internals though. dont plan on running more than 8psi for now. where are some places to look online other than ebay?

I bought all my stuff off of eBay. Only other place really is Hahn Racecraft and I got various fittings from Summit Racing. If you stay with stock injectors, you will only really be able to push about 6 psi safely because the fuel pump will not be able to keep up with the high fuel pressures. Keep that in mind in your budget.

Not to mention it's good to have extra money in case of the worst case scenario. If you buy your parts over time, then you can save more money. In my opinion I would save your $1500 and as you save extra money use the extra money for parts this way once you're all done piecing together a kit you will have some money on the side if something breaks. Of course if you come across a really good deal and you need some of that money then you have it too.

Well if you're looking for used parts, car forums as well as ebay are a great place to look. Just be careful with who you buy from. Ebay is also good for some good new parts such as an intercooler and piping. If you're looking for good/quick customer service I recommend extreme psi. They have very good prices as well.
