just piece it together .. its okay to use ebay intercoolers for like 100$ and intercooler piping for 100$ then buy a used cast iron turbo mani and a used turbo and some dsm 450cc injectors and u can put together a kit that is better then cheap ebay turbos

the only real part that they fail on is the chinese turbo and turbo mani
and even with those kits u still need injectors and ems

some ebay turbo kits last for a good 3 months before they blow, but be prepared to replace that turbo, and probably a lot more expensive parts too.

i'd atleast buy the $600 kits, sell the turbo, and buy a used garrett turbo, and replace the wastegate, and BOV as soon as possible if youre in a hurry to turbo it.

research before you buy anything. Don't buy turbo stuff from Ebay unless you know what you're doing. like someone said, go to homemadeturbo.com and read read read
