Default HELP...is this turbo kit any good???

Sorry guys but I don't know very much about turbo's and really want to put one on my car this summer. And today is the last day I have to purchase a turbo kit that I have on hold from a local guy who is selling it. The setup is below. The guy pulled it from his '99 Si and I plan to put it on my '00 Si. He said he had it on his car for only 2000 miles. He is asking for $2500. First of all, is the kit any good? Second, is it worth the $? Finally, what else do I need to make the kit complete? Please let me know. All feedback would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Garrett T3/T04E Turbo (less then 2,000 miles on it).
Peakboost Equal lenth manifold.
3” downpipe
3” straight back exhaust with Apexi N1 turbo muffler.
Tial 38mm Wastegate.
Tial Blow off valve.
PWR Intercooler 24x8x3.
Autometer Boost gauge.
Greddy Turbo timer.
Greddy Profec B spec2 boost controller.
Brand new GM 3 bar map sensor.
Complete 3 piece 2.5" charge piping.
RC 440 injectors
Aeromotive Fuel regulator.
All necessary installation hardware.

All good brands and peices, but you need oil lines and fuel management,

That's a good deal for everything that is included.

To buy that stuff new would be over 4k.

Thanks for the reply!

The guy said "all I need is the fitting to tap the oil pan ($10) and the fitting for the oil pressure($10) on the block." Is he talking about the oil lines?

What would you suggest for fuel management and how much more $ am I looking at?

Crome/Uberdata are free... if your car is OBD1 all you need is a chip burner and to chip your ecu.

Else I recommend Hondata... it's the next cheapest "real" solution.

uberdata, or hondata, or aem ems, etc. For fuel managment. I don't recommend the afc, fmu, or that emannage stuff. You will need some oil lines like said above

Theres a guy on this board, flemengo-T (I think) If he's still selling the stuff he will know exactly what you need. I recommend this because for some reason oil lines can be a pain to figure out. This is because the back of the block uses some british pipe thread (non us standard)

You are right it is a Peakboost! He's actually selling the kit for $3000 and it doesn't come with the oil lines or slimline radiator fan. However, it does include a bunch of things not in the original kit. This kit is used and I don't know for sure how long, I just have to trust what he says. I priced everything online at just over $4000 retail. Do you think $3000 is still a decent price???

so he raised the price on you?...its still a okay buy for 3Gs....you can get complete new peakboost kit from wiredspeed(i think) for like 2850 or 2900(i forgot) on honda-tech here...if it was me i would get a brand new one...but either way yours is still a good buy with the extras...

its a good kit, but remember 3000 is just for the kit. Make sure you have some extra money for tunning and all the other small crap. Slapping on a turbo kit doesn't cost much, all the headackes that come with it cost money. Just my 2 cents from experence.

you need the oil t from http://www.tunertoys.com. the back of the block uses a bspt thread while most t fittings are npt. i used that t and it threaded in perfectly with no leaks. . i'd recommend getting it, plus its only like $20.

also, those parts in the kit are pretty good. he seem to not cheap out on anything when he pieced it together.
