Check this out on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1871407162

It looks like the star kit from the pic but it says its a t3 turbo but its pretty cheap for now.

dude that's no custom kit that's a Star Kit, look at the intercooler it's the on in the star kit. Also look at the instruction manual it has the star logo on it. Do your homework haha...

Take some hard looks boys:

The engine pic is a custom bullshit looking kit. The kit on the floor is a Star kit with an external wastegate on the floor. The turbo is an internal wastegate spray painted old ass looking turbo. It is all the same color.....check it out.

Be very careful. When something does not smell right, it probably is not right. If a person is selling something and the pics do not even match between themselves, something is wrong. It does not state anywhere in the post that the kit is new!!!!!! It could be used and a slapped together piece of shit.....who knows. This thing has ripoff written all over it.

You kids and your ebay ventures......when you get screwed, you always come crying. I really wonder why people even use that site for stuff like this.

If you really want a kit, call DSS for a Star kit or Howell for a hahn kit. You can wait a month or longer......expect it. You can also expect that they charge your card early. Would not be cool on their part to get the kit in and then find out that you have not paid your bill or the purchase does not go through at the time of shipping.

I have also never heard of a Layaway program except for K-mart. If something smells fishy, then stay away. I really think we should have more control who comes on here, says they are a business and then fucks most everyone. We have way too many members for this to happen.

Do what you will.....btw, I only say this because I care. And for those that have a custom kit, I am not raggin on you. Just stating my opinion of a shady ebay sales pitch.

20/20 hindsight is a real mother for ya and that shit DeanoD said is nothing but the cold reality of it all. A lot of us learned the hard way about things to good to be true. I wouldnt be surprised to see a few ashes,and lbcgear wrote all over on that turbo kit if u know what I mean, desperate times call for even more desperating measures. OMG I think its another scam. :rolleyes
