X2

If that checks out, then go for it.

Does it come with an FMU?
If not, look into one, its an essential part to help get the right fuel input once all is said and done

Or you could just use bigger injectors and run crome/neptune.

But sure, i would at least check to see if the turbo is of a decent manufacturer. If it's ebay Ish then just buy a new ebay one for $500.

That is an essential part of making your car run like crap and wash rings/crack injectors over time.


What parts does it include and what brand? 500 bucks usually means not exactly top notch which is fine but some things you should just completely stay away from.
