Default What about this kit?

"After recently seeing the sucess with the first kits i advertised on ebay i decided to make another batch. You will get a t3/t4 turbo with .61/.48 specs.A B or D series revhard turbo manifold. You will recieve a spearco custom fmic measuring 22x14x2.5. A tial 35mm wastegate along with a apexi twin chamver bov and custom turbo pipeing.Also a manual boost controller.Everything in this kit is brand new"

What do you guys think of this turbo kit for 1100 shipped? Is it a good deal? The manifold is a Revhard.

I don't know. I kinda freaks me out too. I am kind of afraid to send that much money. It seems too good to be true. But it doesn't come with gauges, oil lines, welded flange for BOV, no type of fmu. It's just a little leary to me. He says he has 5 of these kits to sell, and he says hes sold 5 already but he only has 4 feedbacks. I will probably just pass it up since he doesn't have sufficient feedback.

I'd say pass on this one. First off, the manifold in the ad looks like it cracked and was welded. It's definately used - look at the gasket material stuck on the wastegate flange, as well as the overall crappy appearance of the mani. All the pics look like they were copied off other ebay ads. If he really has this stuff in stock then why not take his own pics? Finally, if you look at his feedback, the only positives he has are as a buyer. The only feedback where he was the seller is a complaint that he never responded to futher emails... kinda shady...

Yeah, he was responding to my emails until I asked him to take a pic of the whole kit now I get nothing. I knew it was too good to be true. Better luck next time i guess. LaterZ
