Dont expect any of that to be of good quality especially for that price.

from personal experiance and not jus from copying everyone else word.. i think the turbo can make good power and have it runnin good for a while(me currently for almost a yr on DD.) but dnt be surprised if sumthn happens to it cuz its not best quality.. if u wanna upgrade in the future you can go for it

thanks, thast what i was thinking as well. i wouldnt get this one so to say, something more complete. but the 2 things that would go are either the turbo or the manifold. it would run for a while and when something goes i can replace it at that time.

i dont expect this to be of high quality. but more like a good starter kit. what are u using for engine management?

That's a well polished turd, lol.

Jk, but seriously, a failing turbo can yield worse results than you think, as it is linked to the intake, and the oil system. Just thought I'd let you know to keep in mind that a turbine of poor quality can indeed damage the engine if it blows in a bad way. Is it worth the gamble for the price? It may be worth it to just spend some extra time to get budget parts that don't really need to move, like the piping and whatnot, and while piecing together, get yourself a brand name turbine etc. the first time.

But hey, you may win this gamble, and have a perfectly running turbo for years with no problems, I'm just saying you should really think about if it is worth it to make the gamble in the first place. Just keep it in mind when making these decisions.

now say im looking to boost an ls. what would be the most effective fuel solution?

i wouldnt be looking for much in terms of hp. like 250 ish at most.

I know to get an ecu, like stated an s200 would good. i could get one chipped and run crome or the like. but what about in terms of injectors? i would get a 255lp walbro intank pump cause they pretty cheap.
