Default RE: turbo???

you can put an ebay turbo kit on your car yes, however i would not suggest it. You get what you pay for with those kits the turbos and manifolds tend to crack and break. If you are turboing your car your going to have to fork out the money for engine management and a tune so why not get quality parts that wont break as easily. I would piece a turbo kit together slowly if you are trying to keep within a small budget. But since it sounds like your new to this so I HIGHLY suggest you research research and research alot more about your engine and turbos. Also set a goal power level like 200whp dont just say low boost. Anyway hope this helps.

ditto. you can but it'd be a really dumb idea to actually do it. ebay turbo's tend to break.
