Heres 2 words of wsdom when it comes to throwing on a turbo kit:

Fast
Cheap
Relaible
^^ pick 2 and the 3rd is what its not.


If u try and save a buck, will cost you 2

Keep those in mind when you build your engine, and that should help you make the right decisions.

Here is a thread that was posted a while back about ebay setups. This person actually found a seller that had a kit that, for the most part, had parts that worked.

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/my-ebay-kitted-2000-4dr-ls-swap-2760152/

Read through it and you will see what parts have been found to fail. Obviously the turbo is typically one of the weak links in an ebay kit. I would never use one personally, but some people have used them on low boost for quite a while.

Just make sure to get a good tune when all is said and done. Good luck.
