Default Hi, new here...just got a couple of questions on a used turbo kit on ebay....

Hello!!! I have a 95 honda civic and have been browsing around the web when I found this website. Hopefully I can be of some help to yall and vice versa. I've been wanting to turbo my car for a while now but don't have the funds to buy one new. I found this ebay auction for a used greddy turbo kit but it doesn't come w/ everything. Looks like I might need some other small stuff. Can yall help me see if its a good deal or not and what i might also need for it.

Thanks guys and gals!

If that is all it comes with in the pics you will need alot more piping, looks like it also needs a wastegate too. but for $100 it looks good to me. but you'll probably end up spending $500+ more then the wining bid to get it working right on your car.

Probably a busted turbo. I would strongly recommend you not to bid on that.

dont buy it...your gonna need to get the greddy blue box...and greddy doesnt sell those indivually...unless of course you wanna go stand alone, but if your buying a half used kit it doesnt sound like you are....i used to have that kit..nice turbo..that intercooler looks like it was beat to **** though...ALSO...like he said, it looks like your gonna need more intercooler piping..not sure...and i believe it has an internal wastegate, cant tell by the pic...all in all...dont waste ur money on that...imo

probably to show the size of the intercooler, or to hide a big 'ol dent.
