 Cheap T3/T4 Upgrade kit on ebay!! | « » 8:50 PM 3-27-2008 | |

Hey all, need the opinion of the forum on this Turbo kit that is selling on ebay, seems like a really good deal for the price, under 1k. I have some upgrades, Miltek turbo back, Intake, and stage 2 Remo tuning and a Hyperboost DV, but im tryin to get up to 300 hp.So what do you guys think about this kit???

You decide:
 
That is what happened to a similar $900.00 Turbo kit off ebay.
You get what you pay for, if you cant afford to do it right the first time you defiantly cant afford to do it wrong. So, no its not a good kit.

I've heard of turbo's glued together but never actually saw a picture of one. Hopefully this thread isn't hard to find if that ever comes up again. Oh hell maybe I'll just save the pic to my photobucket.

haha I was just saying that as I explained the infamous glued together turbos to my roommate. oh, and on topic, (we already all know the kit is crap) that thing has way more useless parts than it has useful ones. Ex. catch can, but no DP...

i bought a kit like this except it just came with fmic turbo wastegate blow off valve 50 trim turbo mani is definite junk the rest i am extremely happy about maybe i got lucky and i think if you stay away from xs power you would be fine my turbo worked great but to much lag i bought a smaller intercooler with piping off of ebay you just have to watch what your buying and make sure they guarantee if there is a problem from what i heard pag parts puts together a nice package for a reasonable amount of money also if your going to that big of a turbo you need to upgrade internals i did not and wish i would have spent the 350 on the rods so good luck 300 hp should be easy for this type of setup

Ha, i was searching for threads like this since i came across the same ebay kit. The guy told me" we have had little trouble. If you want a brand name, go buy one."
