I'll run through this a little for you this is what I think the parts are worth just on what I have seen and what I would be willing to be for no name parts

Turbo- no name, it might work it might break in 2 days $100
Wastegate - looks like a replica of the star/treadstone manifold not bad worth maybe $200
FMIC (& piping) - small but not bad for a few psi, worth maybe $250
MBC - who knows might work well might not worth $10-$50
Wastegate - knockoff might work but not where I wanna skimp on a turbo system we'll put it at $100
BOV - pretty much same as the wastegate, we'll put it at $50

Who knows you might get it and it works well for you, personally I wouldn't chance it and would just piece together my own kit out of both used/new parts

With this kit at the minimum you would still need...
Walbro 255lph $95
12:1 FMU $50-$100
FCD or Missing Link $25-$60
Downpipe $100-$250
Oil line kit (not listed or shown) $50-$100
Will need to tap your oil pan
Oil pan gasket $25-$35
Gauges: boost/egt $200

That's all I can think of for now


I contributed to the Wiki!
EVO IX - just a really expensive boost gauge and a K&N air filter
96 Eclipse RS -awaiting registration and inspection
95 Eclipse GS - parts car

I bought my manifold from these people and I like the quality of it. I only paid $183 for it I believe. My friend had the Treadstone manifold and I had this one and they were very comparable with each other.

I would not buy their whole kit though. You can save money by not getting that and piecing together your own in the long run. You *might* save money up front with this kit, but that turbo is just asking to go out a week after you put it on, BOV leaking, wastegate malfunctioning, etc.

Better yet don't ever buy any car parts on Ebay. If you can't find it at Summit racing it's probably crap. Spend money wisely once or you'll spend it twice.

You always get what you pay for. Dont cheap out on something just cause its cheaper, especially on parts like these that you want to put on your car.

Item has been removed from ebay.

Anyways, the hundreds of us with HRC and Star kits must be wrong. Not to mention so filthy rich, we can just throw money away for no reason.
