Default To Turbo Or Not

ive heard that the turbo kits from ebay are worthless and pos...but how about just for the daily drive? not run it to the point of breaking every day/ just your daily drive to work, gf's and occasional race or to when you feel its your night, i was just wondering if a daily drive all the time would help preserve the life of a turbo kit. thanks.

well you get what you pay for. Research your turbo kits and the different parts to them to make sure you get the best one and size for your car. You may also want to invest in an electronic boost controller to help with the daily drive part-Shift

Don't go with the ebay ****. You're better off going with a junkyard turbo setup from the sounds of it.

You can put together a junkyard setup fairly cheap & run a small turbo that'll give you a beautiful power band which is perfect for daily driving & making the occasional pull on the highway.
