Keep searching craigslist and start rollin' the dice. Going about it that way is the surest way to get ripped off with a bunch of BS parts and half-*** engine management.

Step your game up and start saving for proper equipment. If you think getting it cheap is going to work, wait until something breaks, and then you'll REALLY be pissed as your car sits in the Garage..

When you're ready to man up to a few good companies that can get you what you need with reliability, repeatability, and rapid response, let us know. But expect the wallet to open up a little more than what you're expecting now.

Why spend 300$ for an ebay turbo when it'll go out down the road and then you're going to spend another 300$ for an ebay turbo when you could just spent 600$ the first time on a good brand

What? He didn't say "kit" he said TURBO.

I feel bad for how your car is going to end up a 4 months from now.

This is such a thread.


Clearly you are dead set on being a cheap ***, first you are going to buy a USED ebay turbo kit, then you want us to give you links to cheap turbo kits as well? Just so you know, we don't use ebay on this website. Well, noobs like you do...

This x100,000,000,000,000.

Or maybe he should just never touch his car, or sell it to someone that will treat it right, and buy a geo metro or something.

I think the answer to your question was that no one is going to answer your question.

That's because we don't like cheap bastards that would rather buy ebay ****, just to say they have one, instead of actually doing it right.

It's hackjobs and cheapasse's like you that are ruining these cars, it's so hard these days to find a honda that isn't hacked up and full of ebay **** parts.

Take some goddamn pride in building your car. If you don't care about your car enough to actually do stuff right, then sell it to someone that will.

Yet we are the one's that KNOW what we are doing and talking about, and take pride in building a car, but since you think we are losers, it must be true
