Re: ebay turbo kit (93egB16A)
I got one, and got so sketched out about the gamble, I didn't put it on my car. Figured it wasn't worth it, even if there was a possibility of working well. Sold it for a profit after leaving it in my garage for a few months.
eBay turbo kits: IMO, not worth the risks.

Re: ebay turbo kit (BlackoutVTi)
id deal with used kits before new ebay kits. but i wouldnt mind an ebay manifold to redo or rework if it was cheaper than stainless stock at the local metal supply

Re: (dao_yaj)
I could mention all the most popular turbo brands in a list:
Greddy
Turbonetics
Edelbrock
etc.
....but I'd rather give you more useful advice.
Talk to the folks in the Forced Induction, they're very knowledgeable, and will help you well on your way, giving more information that can be well put together than most of the conflicting answers you'll get here.

Re: (Hondasi88)
build one from scratch. sooo much cheaper that way. these "turbo kits" are over priced imo. but if u read up on it and do your homework. youll come out with more money and a bad *** turbo setup.

my friend had one on his D16z6. was reliable but dont feel like how it was when everything was new (less pull).
also expect to spend another grand or more for things like tuning, gauges, fuel pump, injectors, labor, ect.

peice one together, it will be more reliable and better performing for close to the price of the ebay ones. The pre-made kits are expensive because your paying for a name most of the time
