Hmm, well he is going to rip you off so I would look elsewhere.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Just a T3/T4 turbo is worth close to $700 new.

It does sound too good to be true. I had a friend that bought a complete turbo kit for $1300 but the turbo was bad, the piping was ghetto, the wires were speaker wires, and the lines were all chewed up. COD is not always safe because they dont let you open up the package when you recieve it...

Sounds too good to be true... and most deals that sound too good to be true are just that. Don't do it. I bought my t3/t4e for $625 alone... a manifold, bov, and some lines would push maybe $600 or more. Nobody would legitamitely sell $1200+ worth of stuff for $700.

Plus, Dustin is always right.
