So i saw a turbo kit for 900
 
I saw this and it intrigued me cuz it was only 900 dollars or so. What do you guys think would it be worth it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/jdm-0...spagenameZWDVW

it is just a chinese made knock off turbocharger and intercooler with some universal piping and couplers, and an exhaust manifold.

it is in other words, crap. but if you want to pay 900 dollars for parts that will imediately ruin your engine and void your warranty, go ahead.

1. you get what you paid for,
2. be extremely careful when buying stuff off ebay.

Yea i figured it was crap worth a shot of asking tho. Had someone who bought a intercooler off ebay cheap one they thought itd be a cheap knock off and here come to find out it was a Godspeed intercooler

I'm trying to fabricate my own turbo kit for 2nd gen and don't wanna spend 600 bucks for garrett turbos...

Cheaping out on a turbo setup and getting some ghetto ebay setup is about the dumbest thing any car owner can do short of driving their car into a brick wall at 100MPH.

Simplyscion 03-10-2008 01:42 AM

And to the guy who mentioned "Godspeed" intercoolers, they are the ringleaders of junk ebay parts lol :doh: :yawn:
