Default Quick question about Greddy Stage 2 turbo

I'm new to this turbo stuff, and I have read a lot before posting this.

I have a question about that Greddy Stage 2 turbo kit on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...99002058QQrdZ1

I was wondering why is it sooo cheap?
Also I was wondering does this kit includes everything for my car to get it running?

Thanks for the output.

oh ic, well then somewhere further i read that if you replace ecu, injectors maybe pistons you can get up to 400+ hp. Is that true?

well the question overall is if I buy that kit, would I need anything else to buy so I can run my car safely on stock engine?

thanks

mistaken you say, oh well then.

Well then this made me confused. "The Scion TC turbo kit setup is a complete bolt-on, but needs a fuel and engine management upgrade."

and then this:
Greddy Turbo Kit Features:
Emanage Ultimate ECU
440cc injectors
clips & harness
Mitsubishi/GReddy TD-05H 18G turbo
Stainless steel tubular manifold
Cat-delete downpipe (2-piece)
Intercooler included (Type-31V)
Aluminum intercooler piping


I don't get it, so it has the ECU or not? lol

So would that be a good/cheap deal if I buy that? OR should I just consider buying ZPI Stage 0 turbo kit?

Thanks again

Rating looks good, but I would confirm the descripition before purchase. If that's the right price for a NEW kit, then that's a helluva deal.

It does say "Racing Ambitions includes the "Stage 2" fuel and engine management upgrade in this package." so I think he was saying the normal kit don't come with it (which it don't) but they include it. I would confirm it but with or without it's a GREAT DEAL as long as it end at that price. There's 5 days left so it could go up a few hundred.

Instead of Stage 2... I think its mean Option 2. As you all know, The greddy kit comes with 2 options.

Anybody know if this kit would fit on an automatic with no problems? Also since it comes with emanage ultimate map, is that as bad as the regular emange maps i've been reading about in some other threads.

It fits the auto. There's a few tC running it on the auto "krdshrk" is one, look up a few post above this one and you'll see him and a link to his thread. Both maps are the same but I've been running the base map since November and I'm ok but I do highly recommend getting tuned.

I'm sure there's another forum for this somewhere, but does anyone know much the GReddy kit pulls?
..like... Can we all agree ZPI stg0 <GReddy kit < ZPI stg 1?
I mean, i'm on the brink of the GReddy kit myself, but if ZPI's stg0 makes more power (than GReddy), there's nothing to consider, although the GReddy kit does come with the intercooler.
I know you can expand with ZPI which is something you can't really do. w/ the GReddy. I mean, ... there's no real sense on getting the GReddy kit with option 1 then "upgrading" to option2.

Say I went with the GReddy, and I went toe-to-toe with a stage0, right? He (stg0) would have nothing on me, right?

Yes, the GReddy kit pulls nice.

ZPI stage 0 = 230 WHP
GReddy w/ emanage & Injectors = 250 WHP.

yes it's CAPABLE of hitting that much. But with just the kit itself and minimal tuning, you're around 250-260 WHP.
