just wanted some input on an ebay turbo kit only to use about 8lbs. im on a budget but dont want to blow a motor or waste my time having a ebay turbo installed if its completly junk. I figured with only boosting 8 lbs I would be okay. any other not to expensive options other than ebay?

 

there's plenty of information in the FAQ's.
as for cheaper kits, www.treadstoneperformance.com

 

Yeah tredstone will be your best kit for cheap. If you want to run ebay stuff then i recomend a cast manifold and a 57 trim ebay turbo. your going to have to get a custom downpipe made unless you get rid of a/c then you can get away with an ebay downpipe. whatever you do DONOT get an ebay tubular manifold, there complete junk. Ebay greddy type rs knock off work well i run one on my car with over 400whp no problems with it. as for a wastegate i would highly recomend you pick up at least a used Tial 38mm. new would be preferable but used is much better than an ebay wasetgate. evo injectors will work and whatever you do get it tuned on crome do not use an FMU. if you have any mor questions hit up the LST forum or PM me

 

x2 on treadstone. decent parts (except the manifold, i dislike it). last a lot longer than the typical ebay kits.

 

thanks

 

yes the manifold for my car that treadstone makes isn't that great. the wastegate is basically on cylinder 4...no good.

 

i recently heard that some one bought the ebay kit the turbo went bad and they bought a garrett rebuild kit for the same trim and its been running fine. im starting to think i may just spray it.
