if you know what youre doing, go for it. just dont boost the C5 unless you have a lot of money. and if you have that much, give me some.

yea, there is a guy selling jackson racing s/c' on ebay for like 2 grand... but i know one thing important is missing... the intercooler. It also says it'll give you a 40% (whatever that is) hp boost... isnt that a little low for a s/c?. come to think of it... its tourqe that gives you the killer pick up right? fill me in. here is the link to it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

i hate to burst everyones bubble but i bought a turbo kit off of ebay for 715, probably the same you were looking at, and the only thing it didnt come with is and intercooler, intercooler piping, and an FMU. everything else is there and it is a very good setup im very happy with it

Yes, it's true that the main reason people buy S/C's is for the low-end power and torque. But what most people don't realize is that putting a bunch of extra LE torque into an FF daily driver is a dumb idea. Especially if you live in an area where cops give you tickets for peeling out... even in the rain.

And Blackhatch, my bubble is still intact. It's just that I've heard a lot of stories of people getting ripped off buying parts on eBay. Sounds like you got a hell of a deal though. Nice!

Who was the seller? If you got a kit that was good quality, please, tell us who is selling the good stuff.
