i was wondering, what's the difference from this ebay turbo kit to a peakboost or full-race or even a drag turbo kit? other than the turbo size what else? for 900 bucks for a full turbo kit, that's a deal compared to 3gs. any information/links is greatly appreciated. thank you!

oh come on man

 

What's the difference from a 93 Ford Escort and an Ferrari 430 Scuderia??

The names are different, but the comparison is the same...

 

let's go with "what's the difference between chicken **** and chicken salad"

there's a big difference between those two cars. but as for the turbo kits, i want to know mainly the difference they perform and such. like the piping and lines are the same i'm sure, its the turbo that would make the difference, right? if that's the case, i can always upgrade to a bigger turbo in the long run. my concern is, slapping on the ebay turbo kit or a peakboost on a stock motor, with the same size turbo, which one would perform better in the 1/4mile? hope this helps.

just wondering that's all. this guy in brooklyn park, mn runs 11.3s on a drag turbo kit. and if i'm right, a drag turbo kit isn't all that great either right, correct me if i'm wrong here. because if spending 3gs on a turbo kit is the way, then...its the way to go...but if it's the turbo that makes the difference, then i might as well but a cheaper turbo kit, like the ebay one, and upgrade to a bigger turbo in the long run. that's just my opinion thou, not too sure if its right, just want to get assistance on which route would be better.

 

Although i dont think the Drag kit is the best one around, its definitely better than the Ebay kits. The wastegate placement on the Drag manifold is terrible and can cause boost creep.

As for the Ebay parts, the turbos spew oil easily, the wastegates dont hold boost very well and the manifolds tend to simply fall apart. With such a track record of failure, i would steer clear of them. If you search the Marketplace, you can find a lot of good turbo setups without spending a ton of money.
