The kit itself is okay for the price..... The manifold is cast iron so its stronger then the other cheap manifolds on there....its just those chinese turbos you gotta worry about

x2

but when you get more money go buy a brand name turbo for ~600, then get better wastegates and bov's, everything else from ebay has been known to be very reliable

so basically your buying a $600 kit then replacing everything except the charge pipes and oil lines. **** son, Ill sell you charge pipes made with shitty aluminum and oil lines for $600 and Ill even throw in a cast manifold with a crappy wastgate location for that price

^^^ no i'm saying he can use the chinese turbo, bov, and WG UNTIL he gets money for brand name stuff.

but if you wanna put it like that,

eBay cast manifold - 80$
ebay charge pipes - 125$
ebay oil return/ feed kit - 60$

x100 and you end up paying more to replace cheap **** that could potentially destroy your damn engine, but dont take our advise because its not like have not successfully turbocharged a car before

do it right the first time or get your anus ready for a raping with buying new crap all over
