Its a great price!! But I'm guessing you get what you pay for. Plus I have an 07 so this probably won't fit. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

Yeah I just noticed that the charge piping is "universal" which means you have to cut and couple to make them fit. Thats WHACKTASTIC!! I'll just save me money for a ZPI or Treadstone.

That is not a do it your self kit. lol haha.
Even if you get it to work, 1 run and the compressor will break apart. Or the WGA will fail and run 20psi.
It will cost you more money in the long run to make that work then to buy a real turbo kit.

I will buy certain things off ebay but things like that are usually half-a$$ed so they can offer and entice with low price. My opinion is that if you are going to do something so drastic to your vehicle you might as well go with something that is made right and wont screw up your whole car...

According to the seller the turbo and BOV are both manufactured by GodSpeed Project. Didnt bother contacting GSP to ask if it was true or not but eh. Truth is you can piece together your own kit with way better components for about $500 more.

Juding by the lack of specs with the exception that it does have the turbo specs but nothing else (I.E. Dyno numbers) I don't belive with the turbo trims you will be able to make a lot of power. And it doesn't come with engine managment.

There is a kit on ebay that i am looking at buying and if anyone who is so against ebay parts did some research they would know and understand that it is a kit by godspeed which isn't a name brand but it is a knock off greddy. I know a few people with kits from them who love their kit. Plus i have heard many people with complaints with Greddy about pipes not fitting exactally right and many other headache problems. And this kit has a lifetime warrenty so what is the difference? THE NAME BRAND. Thats all everyone is telling you to bye. Even if godspeed doesn't come through with their warrenty you could buy and rebuild the turbo 3 times over what a namebrand ones cost. You could go strip a turbo off a volvo or audi from a junk yard and put it in the TC and get prob between 7-9 lbs of boost which is the same as the TRD supercharger that is like $4000. Most everyone on the fourms who is boosted is bias against anything off ebay because they spent thousands on their car. I would prob be angry to if i spent 5 thousand or so on a turbo kit and sombody found something for a fraction of the price that worked just as well. Im not saying that everything on ebay is good but do your research because you can find good deals. Here is the site, these kits are universal which means that you would have to really figure out would will and wont work on your car and also if u get universal piping you will most likely have to bend and wield pipes. If you decided to go this route, or even if you dont, you will have to get your car tuned to get maxium performance and so all the timing on your car is correct so your engin doesn't go BOOM!!! The T3T4 turbo that is on this site is also found on ebay for the TC. Good luck tunning!

PS I contacted GodSpeed today and they said that the turbo kit that im looking at on ebay was made by them.
