what stock hoses were you planning on using???? i hope you werent thinking about using your rad hoses as intercooler piping......because then you would run into some big problems... anyways you need alot more then what you see there... i think you should research..a little...scracth that... ALOT more before you go out and buy a turbo...

No, you would still need intercooler piping and gauges (if you choose, but would be stupid not to get at least a boost gauge..that should be mandatory) and fuel management. Not to mention after buying that kit and extra ****, you could have pieced together better quality parts

spend the extra dough and get a RELIABLE turbo man. Or if your mechanically inclined, build yourself a turbo.
BeerBongsKickAss will have all the info you'd need on that one.

I'll give props to the SS autochrome manifolds, they have some really nice welds and from what i've seen on my buddies talon they hold up nicely..... don't know if i'd trust anything else they sell tho..... welding metal isn't rocket science, turbo's are a little more..... in depth


lmao invisible piping.....

listen to the FI guys when they said NO, but if you are looking for someone to say yes, and it looks like you are, then by all means buy that piece of ****. But don't come back and make a hundred threads about why your shitbox sucked a couple turbo fins through your engine and now it "idles funny."

I'll second that, if you want quality you're gonna haveta pay for it, once in a while you might get lucky and find a decent quality part by some no-name company for a good price... but thats all it is, luck... Do some research with the F/I guys im sure they'll help you if you're serious about what you're doing.. and look into quality companies if you're buying/piecing together a kit...

Chances are you CAN'T properly turbocharge your car for 750$.. Chances are that you're gonna be looking around 2.5 - 3k USD for anything new that's decent w/intercooler.

you will obviously need boost control, turbo timer, gauges, some sort of fuel management and ignition system and injects. The list goes on.

That would be incorrect. I spent 1500 on a complete greddy kit. Sold it and I am now putting together a turbo righ tnow. So far I have spent 650 or so and almost nothing is name brand. Its called bargain hunting.

Yes brand new greddy kit minus the intercooler, without an I/C you can get the kit for 1900 from the greddy website, so im sure their are better prices out there...... I should have clarified that i was using their pricing.

And yeah bargain hunting is cool, but you gotta go bargain hunting for good parts, any turbonetics built or reman'd turbo is gonna be good..... All im referring to in terms of bad parts are things like that turbo on that page.... who the hell makes xspower?

It's the same eBay crap rebadged. I have an XS Power turbo, the oil seals died in it, not worth rebuilding.

You would need everything they give you, plus a *real* version of each part. So I suppose you don't need anything in that ebay auction.
