#83846, "Ebay Turbo Kit. Good or Bad?"




          

Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33742&item=7962166875&rd=1

Even though it's missing a few things I wanted to know if it's a good deal. I got my income tax return last week and want to purchase a turbo kit so I can be turbo'd for the summer. I did a search and saw that most people recommend buying a Star or Hahn turbo kit but I don't feel like spending $3,000.

I also wanted to know if someone could tell me if it's better buying a complete kit or buying it piece by piece. I have looked around on ebay and other sites and have been able to find good prices on the different parts needed to complete a kit. Does anyone have any advice on this??

Yeah. I didn't notice the same kit had already been posted until after I posted. I was going to delete it but I didn't because I wanted to know if anyone had any advice on my second question. Whether it's better to buy a complete kit or piece one together part by part.

hahahahahaa and people still buy from him what dumbasses.
and to answer your question. If you need to ask if the ebay kit is good enough, you better stick to a well known complete kit. If you want it on the cheap you better know what you are doing.

-97 GS (First project, 299 whp)(sold)
- 97 RS 2.6 last numbers: 306hp, 352tq @16psi (Dead, parted out)
- 99 GS OZ, Hahn Kit, 56k miles (Sold)
