how about if you got the turbo kit from ebay, just for the every day drive, not to run it hard every day??

maybe the occasional race here and their? still no good?

 

random question are you going to tune any turbo you install in your car ? and generally eebay turbos are "okay" but any turbo you get, its not a simple install like putting an intake on.

 

how much boost and are you talking a stock block?

 

Stay away from the ebay ****. The manifolds fall apart & the turbos have a tendency to leak or fall apart (literally).

If you're just looking for a DD type setup put together a junkyard setup with a small turbo. It'll give you a better power band as opposed to being all top end so you don't have to take it to redline just to pass some slow ******* on the highway.

 

for daily driving, you should look into jackson superchargers

 

They still suck, they're not worth it, in any and all conditions.

****'ll start falling apart on you and it'll just become a headache.

They're widely known for having welds crack on teh wastegate and the turbos seizing up.

They aren't like real turbos where people re-build 'em either.

I'm sure you can piece together a real kit from a junkyard for ~1k.

Though like John666 said, it's not exactly installing an intake.

 

build a quality kit and GET IT TUNED!!! thats the most important part....the kit will last as long as you want it too....dont be stupid and drive like an idiot, redline on every gear.....for help to build a kit, check out homemadeturbo.com, or turbod16.com

you can build a turbo kit from 800-3000 all depends on what you want to get and what you except in terms of power goals
