of course your new... search the forums for info then ask questions. dont wanna sound like a dick but its how it works around here. ebay turbo kits are usually ****. buy good stuff.

You get what you pay for bud. Get a cheap eBay kit and do no research beforehand and it's gonna suck. It's not worth it to skimp out on performance parts. Save up, read up, and do it right the first time. It'll be worth the wait.

i had friends buy ebay turbo kits and end up spending more money because the ebay parts were garbage. your better off spending more money for better known performance parts... you gotta pay to play

try searching around this site www.realhomemadeturbo.com and read the forced induction section. there is always really good deals on cheap turbo parts in the classifieds there and alot of good information. the $700 ebay kits are CDM crap

my buddy has gone though about 7 turbo manifolds from ebay... each being about 80 bucks. add that up and you have the cost for a nice peakboost or turbo xs manifold that will last and not fall apart. as he said pay to play, so dont pay more then once.

there is a guy name evil?????? on RHMT that sells really nice split log manifolds for a very good price, think he charged my friend liek 250 shipped. im sure he makes other kinds, think i seen a ram horn he made in a topic. but get ahold of him and see if he can make you one

only thing i would buy from ebay for your turbo kit is... piping, intercooler hoses and clamps, intercooler, filter, breather, blow off valve and possibly wastegate.

only thigns i would NOT buy from ebay...turbo!!, manifold!!!,

couldn't of been said better. You get what you pay for. I don't recommend you running a turbo on ur bone stock hatch. Save the money you waste on an Ebay kit and get a LSV swap. In the long run, it'll be worth it.

there is a special forum in which your question has been asked and answered numerous times.
go to the forced induction forum for any and all turbo questions.
