Ok I Know The Quality Of The Ssautochrome Etc Kits arent The Bests But Is It Work It For A $500 Turbo Kit??? I Kno Ur Gonna Say Piece A Kit Together But I Tried Pricing It Up Off Line And Its Well Over $1600 Is It Worth It To Use As A Starter Kit??? anyone selling a custom kit reasonably?? Any Comments Would Be Greatly Appreiciated

ebay turbo kits are not worth it...i wouldnt even try

one chump brought an ebay kit in with his 00 civic si from that stupid auto chrome sach of s**t to be installed. It was complete BUT i had to reweld the downpipe also the downpipe was f**ked where you couldnt put the buttom bolt in, then you have to weld the bov flange on. Overall its was a p.o.s but worth it to him i guess. after the work i did i wouldnt reccomend to buy one unlessyou can weld and are mechanicaly inclined with performance parts

there peices of s**t. I will call you a ricer if you do it! im telling you if you buy it you will regret it when the comrpessor wheel gets sucked up into your intake manifold and fins are found melted into your cylinder walls.

DONT DO IT

you can usually get a used one on here for like 600-1000 so just do that, most of the time they are goo quality.

Also, try talking like a person that's not on cocaine next time.

This kit is alright I guess, just get a downpipe and a catback exhaust.

Its much better if you just put a kit to getter..

Manifold
Turbo
Fuel pump
Injectors
Engine management
Blow off valve
Intercooler
Piping for downpipe/exhaust and Intercooler piping (or buy pre-made kits)
etc...

It sounds like alot, but really its not that bad

my friend bought one of those cheap ebay kits....not installed yet....but we'll see it'll be on his intergra gsr pushing 300hp......we bought 550cc rc injectors and are looking for a place now to install and dyno tune it.....

you get what you pay for, simple as that.

be sure to get a oil restictor for the turbo, be ready to have to re weld some pipes, every one ive seen, eithr the turbo hit the block and had to be rotated round and DP redone, or just crappy fitment.

and teh ,manifolds crack.
i dont think the can handle 300hp

my brother has been using a ebay turbo with a oil restictor for about two months and it has not s**t on us yet.
