No FDC
No Instuctions? LOL
Cartech FPR
BOV "T" not chromed/pretty and doesn't even look like it has a flange for BOV.
From a site called "AdvancedJDMParts.com" heh

If you can deal with that and about the 1000 other things that'll come up during the install I say go for and let us know when you need help.

The turbo looks like those cheap Chinese ones that everyone says explode. The manifold looks like the autosquare brand which some people say holds up ok. IMO save your money and piece together a kit with better quality parts by keeping an eye on the things people sell on here in the for sale section.

No Fuel cut defender, oil lines, fittings, fuel pump, injectors, customer support.... who knows what else. Oh yeah, extra hair so you don't have to pull yours out, as well as a return shipping slip for when it doesn't work.

EDIT: It will probably have to be shipped back to nigeria which is prolly why there isn't a return shipping slip.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

As we said on DSMtuners.com, it is crap, remains to be crap, and forever will be crap.

I have a cheap chinese turbo. It is decent; minus the huge amounts of blowby and such, but otherwise a great turbo. I have 5k miles on my chinese turbo so far and it still sounds like it is from star-trek.

That isn't an oil leak; it's sweat from all of that horsepower.

oh fuck!!!as I have always said if you are going to turbo from nonturbo do it right...dont cheap out. if you do...go ahead and start looking for a new car because after you replace everything you screw up you would've saved money buying a new car. I really dont recommend going turbo if you are just now learning about motors to be a mechanic...I wouldnt even recommend putting "cold air intake"...with lack of experience...haha...also go to HKSusa.com and see how much their JDM turbo kits are for 420a eclipses

Hey not to be mean but, i understand the cheap turbos are bad i havent seen a chinese tho 1, 2 i have done a cold air intake before on my old car (6g72 galant) and 3 i understand that ebay and cheap is bad i was asking if anyone else have HEARD about it. sorry it but dont got to be mean about. anyways but switching to a slight diff topic, another newbie ? (even tho i been research but i never seen a post about turbos themselves) to u have to find a turbo for a certain car or just any turbo like i know a T25bb, HRC/Mitsu 16g but like what else because i might be plotting to do it my self and i rebuild my engine.

The manifold will have to mate up to the turbo.
