is it ok to get a turbo kit from EBAY? because i could get one for my car for around $800

and if i look at business's selling complete kits are for like $2,500-$3,500.

 

You seriously need to use the search function. Stay away from cheap kits, you get what you pay for. Especially with SSautomchrome.

 

a lot of ebay kits are bought because of mistaken identities, they will say garrett in the title of the post, but they will be xsturbos or another knockoff. the best thing is to read more on turbos before you go into buying one.

 

DO NOT BUY A CHEAP EBAY KIT!!! I know that the price is tempting, but the turbo is one thing that you DO NOT want to skimp out on. Turbos are super senstive items that should not be short cutted. Spend the $2500 to $3000 and don't worry.

 

save yourself the frustration and drop some loot and make sure when looking for parts like when it says garrett in the title...make sure it says garrett not garrett style and so forth

 

d a m m i t. thats a **** load and i might as well just do a f u c k i n g swap!!!!!

 

lol then do a swap man.....after you get a new motor in it feels a lot different

 

If you've got a d16 or a b16 then I would just boost it. If you've got one of those non vtec or a 1.5 then I would swap.

 

If you do the research, you can spend within your budget and still come out with a nice system. You do not have pay the full price for say a Greddy kit which is like $2500.. Instead, read until you're blue in the face about turbo systems, whats good/bad, how they work, why they work, what all you need to run them, etc etc etc.. Dig deep man, not only here but all over the internet. I have my turbo fully installed and I'm at about $1500-$1600 after all the misc. expenses.

 

ebay isnt bad for turbo kits......just stick to name brands. Used kits are usually cheap......I got my entire GReddy kit for 1300, intercooler and all. If you wanna go turbo you dont need to spend 3K, check out my build your own kit for 1000 or less. Turbo kit for under a grand.
