Buy Ebay at your own risk. Some have luck. Some do not.

Buying an Ebay turbo kit is like have sex with a prostitute without a condom. You may luck out and have the time of your life, or you may die.

I will say that more and more people are vouching for CX Racing stuff but take that with a grain of salt. It could be that the Chinese stuff they're getting is of better quality. People also say that CX does their own testing and R&D (or maybe it was that are just balancing these imported turbos?). I haven't researched this claim but I highly doubt it.

Anything Godspeed is like playing Russian Roulette.

I kind of just pulled 300 out of the blue. Thinking it was a reasonable number.
But if your all telling me its damn near impossible, I'll go another path. Im aware of the D-Series being weak from alot of people shouting out. But its the engine in my car i cant very well find a B-Series just laying on the side of the street ya know?
Now lets say realistically i want a much smaller number is there anyone who can help me achieve the goal? Or is everyone saying D-Series a complete waste of time and money and just drive the car till the motor blows? and swap it out?

i mean from you shouting out swap.. What swap you recommending?

Pick a number. Pick the route you want to take. You want us to build it for you as well?
