Without actually fitting that kit, its hard for anyone to say.

I personally would stay away from ebay kits.

bad experience?

In general Ebay = cheap, cheap = inferior quality.

And you don't want that on a turbo setup no mater how serious you are.

People might think otherwise, but thats my personal opinion.

can't see the link but if it's ssautochrome.xs-power stay away from it!!! they great NA extractors/header copies though....

a few people i've read of inv arious car forums have reported that everything is great BUT the actual turbo is a POS!!! the majority of people reported the turbine housing cracking with a few minorities reporting blown engines from turbine fins breaking off and going into the engine!!

as above

but that sort of thing looks like a bolt on kit,

you will have to modify the sump, and chop a bit off the block.

look in the DIY section, there are a few DIY in there on how to do it.

ye I was looking at an ebay kit aswell and was just gonna put better turbo and manifold on it but I dont think you will get any troubles from it, it has a warenty so if somthing goes wrong you can get your cash back and put it down to experiance. let us know if your gonna get it would love to see how it turned out

[ECU-MAN]

you have to be carefull as some of those kits have really thin piping on the manifold, and they crack, then when you try to repair them by welding, you blow a hole through it. not worth the headache with the real cheep kits

im just over the overpricing in australia darn it... i was thinking same as serpo, get some parts which are shitly over priced here, ebay the rest off like turbo... and get a nice turbo

The best way is custom.

you pay what ur getting...

basicly dont buy the kit of ebay .. that have stupidly cheap price..
they mostly made in china turbo will fall appart in 1 year .. even though you rebuilt that before you put it in.. happen to my friend

Brand new kit off ebay will cost you 2700 + on some branded one.. not a cheap imitation..

onther way u can buy 2nd hand of the good brand turbo kit of ebay.. they have lots over USA and save you bang of money .. (coz i did that)

taking notes that.
most intercooler piping are direct fit but.. not all of it, some need modification..

hope it helps ya

Treadstone
FMAX
DRAGZ
