Default jlovetdrifting turbo kit?

Anybody know of the JLovetDrifting Turbo Kit for a B18 Integra? My nephew is thinking of getting one. He was naming off the stuff it has.

T3/T4 turbo
wastegate
intercooler
manifod
downpipe
blowoff valve
boost controller
elbows & hoses
oil lines

I asked him about injectors or adjustable fuel pressure regulator he said he didn't know but it was supposed to have everything. With my dial up, I can't get a good download of the jlovetdrifting description. My nephew says its everything you need.

For the $700 which he says it is on sale for, I saw $800 on the auction page, this seems awful cheap for just a good Garret T3/T4, wastegate & intercooler. Is this outfit jlovetdrifting on the up & up?

I believe I saw a MAP Sensor on the car. In you alls' opion, could he run the car at low boost with 2 bar MAP, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, bigger injectors, fuel pump, & a Mallory or MSD boost reard ignition box?

for the cost of the BTM, you can get a chip to run boost properly. do a 3 bar so boost cut will work properly also. a fuel pressure regulator isnt necessary, maybe a walbro and a set of 450's with a resistor box will go a long way.

need more specifics on the kit. it may be a garrett style or some other knock off crap.

That is a Chinese makeshift ebay turbo kit that will probably last a week if your nephew is lucky.

Sure its cheap, but so are it's components, with fake wastegate, BOV, China Turbo, etc. It comes with a manual boost controller that is not even required. It does not come with any injectors or tuning, and doesn't even include a turbo manifold.

My opinion is that if you spend the $800 on the kit, be prepared to spend another $2,000 in the near future...

Tell your nephew to save his money, ($2,000-$3,000) for a complete and quality kit much like a Greddy, Edelbrock, Drag, turbonetics, etc... Or piece together his own kit with name brand quality parts for probably, less $'s...

Good luck.

When they seem too good to be true, 99.99% of the time, they are
