Default Legit?

Ok so I found this on ebay and I am interested in it. If they have the picture and list all parts like they have and i pay by c.c, I wont have any trouble if anything goes wrong, right?

Im not sure if this is a smart move, but thats why I came to ask you guys.

That is butt load expensive for that "kit".. Its not even complete..

And the only turbonetic part i see is the Turbo itself. SSauto Manifold (cheap)...Which ive been running and had no problems. Just the fact, you will need more work done to it.

Recut and weld the pipes to your car specs, need intercooler, need injectors, fuel management... etc etc...

Go with a Greddy.. If you want that price range... The greddy kit is more complete than that. Or custom one!

DOnt buy...! Not worth it..

Well I found greddy kits for sale on here for only 2,400$$!!!

Why are greddy kits alot cheaper? Is it b/c they are for low boost applications? And I know its greddy, but are the parts reliable?

Default Re: (dohcVTEChatch)

seems like it'd be a prety good deal if it actually had non-generic piping and an IC. Aside form that - I'd say avoid it. No sense buying a non-intercooled hit that you still need to get pipes bent and cut for.

Synic - how long have you had that manifold and how's it coming along? There's about a 98% chance that I'll get one, but not if it's a timebomb. Care to allow me to hijack the thread and give a review on it?
