RE: EBAY TURBO!
(Not from experience on turbo's.) You get what you pay for, just like everything else in life. There is a reason why people on here are spending 3-4K on a turbo setup. It's because thats what works, the thousand dollar kits don't work well and will not hold up.
There are somethings you can get on ebay and have them hold up, turbo kits are not one of them.
Piece together your own kit, there are plenty of great threads on here.

go to turbod16.com and youll read plenty of people who run these with no problem. That being said, its so easy to build your own kit, it would be kinda of like throwing money in the trash buying these kits. Youll save maybe 2-300 bucks and get generic parts in return.

The ebay kits have wastegates that like to break, manifolds that crack and have been known to fall off, and turbos that almost always leak oil and not to mention when it comes to turbo's, technology MATTERS.
Buying IC piping, intercoolers, etc from ebay's not a big deal. Just don't buy the heart of the setup from them.
