It has 2.5" JDM chrome intercooler piping... That alone is worth the $1500!!!

In all seriousness though, I'm not really sure if it is worth it. I hope that isn't the manifold included because those ports wont match up to our ports, wrong shape. I dunno.

Not to mention the fact that it costs somewhere in the vacinity of a 6-pack to have a friend swing over and write the ad in competent 5th grade engrish... Not a huge selling point in my book to have to read through someones inability to write basic english.

Seriously...

looks nice but why does it say garret turbo when the turbo clearly says xspower. And aren't xspower turbos a big POS?

i agree.. turbo xs isnt real good but its a pretty decent turbo, not all that shitty. other than that not sure why he said it was a garret cause it sure dont look like one. but u gotta admit that kit hadsome pretty neat stuff. i want that star intercooler/piping so badly. can't seem to find any that are sold seperately. im gona have to cut and weld my rubbish mandrel bends and im sure the welds r gona look like ass when me or my mechanic are done with. plus its only going to a side mount which is so lame. if anyone here knowsof any intercooler/pipe kits for 2gnt's please let me know. oh yeah and not the $600 one on ebay from streetsource cause the intercooler don't look too nice. anyways back to subject, i say forget the buy it now button, bid on it and if you reach ur limits just forget it and part one out. if u need help with anything let me know..

That's actually my turbo kit that I'm trying to sell. I didn't know that the name brand of my turbo was XS Power. I bought part of my kit from R34Eclipse and i was told it was a Garrett turbo so I didn't think anything of it. I'm new to the whole turbo thing and I guess I was a little gullible. As for the $4500 BIN, yeah it's high. All in all, it's right about what I spent putting the whole thing together. Had I known about this site before I went and spent all of that money, I wouldn't have done it. Right now, I'd be happy to get $2800(that includes shipping it to anywhere in the US). I am also willing to work a deal on it. I'm moving in less than 2 weeks and I'm completely broke. :( I have to get some money back.

In my opinion, you would be much better off selling the stuff not necessary for the kit seperate, or even the whole thing seperate.
