Default eBay kits with turbonetics turbo?

Anyone have experience with anything like this?

Its an ebay kit but says it comes with a turbonetics turbo. Cant be that shitty of a kit as long as it comes with a quality turbo, right?

save a lil more money and just buy a good kit. you'll be happier in the long run. go-autoworks kits go for 2100. you're almost there.

I personally try to piece my kits together using the vast resources here. Jump on the "for sale" or the "forced induction classifieds" threads, and see what you can get going there. Just make sure you know what you are buying. You do take the risk of getting shady parts, but usually you can check someones rep. to tell wether or not they are that type.

I wouldn't trust that turbo as far as I could throw it. Prob a cheap Chinese copy stamped "turbonetics".

I agree, there's already cheap chinese made rebuilt garrett turbos so I wouldn't be surprised if this is a chinese copy either. alot of fakes/replica out there on ebay.
