hows this turbo kit?

[96civic808]

have you guys heard "GODSPEED" turbo kit?
any suggestion/experience with these kits?
someone is selling one kit for $1,000 everything included down to the gauges.

Ebay kit...i wouldn't do it

 

[Matt.]

some parts of the ebay kits work and they can be decent. But you can run into problems, and you'll prob end up replacing the turbo at some point.

yes,he said he bought it on ebay.
he was going to put it to his car but he got into accident.

so that would be big NO?
btw its all new

 

[Billy.]

he probably bought it, realized how cheap it was and how much more he'd have to invest to make it reliable, so he made up the wrecked car story to sell the kit and minimize his losses

GODSPEED sucks, I ordered from them before and they gave me a huge hassle when they didn't send seat rails. They also refused to reply to any emails. Once I finally threatened to take out a claim against them on paypal they sent my item. Nothing but a pain in the ass!

Yes. start researching and researching, and then piece together your own kit. you'll most likely end up with a better quality setup that makes more power and will be more reliable.

1K....hmm, it'd be difficult. I am/was still in the same boat as you (price-wise) but Im at $1400-$1500 and im still not done. You have to keep in mind that shop labor (if you dont wanna tackel install yourself) is hella expensive, you need a good tune, misc expenses for random parts. I'd say 2k is a better goal

 

[Billy.]

your power goal isnt a problem. its very realistic for a stock motor. you just have to shop wisely and $1000 reliable turbo setup is not out of the question but will be challenging

Bheims and Mugenkid speaks Truth. We all in the same boat.

well im not in the same boat, i spent like $4k on my setup not including motor, but i can see the $1k boat on the horizon through my binoculars

half my s**t was brand new, and the other half was custom made

 

[96civic808]

it will be my DD with stock internals that's why i'm only going for 200whp.....
just question, on the setup which piece i would not cheap on?

 

[knivesout]

Manifold, turbo, wastegate, BOV to name a few. Basically all the expensive stuff.
