Does eBay or anybody else make cheap *** kits but minus the turbo? I have a nice turbo that I took off my tahoe but, I need all the other parts to put it on my b16a.

 

Nope. You'll have to piece it together.

 

Well that sucks.

 

Why? Just make notes of the parts in the kit then search for everything else. You can probably find it all from one seller. I wouldn't cheap out on the wastegate if it's external. And the kits never come with upgraded fuel pump or injectors and DEFINITELY not any form of engine management. Think of upgrading that clutch as well.

 

If you keep checking the marketplace and multiple other forums you may come across a good deal here and there. Just keep your list with you, so you know what you want.

I don't think you wanna go cheap...I've seen people's cheap **** crack. Especially eBay kits. But then again it's just my opinion.

I really want to turbo my car but do it legit but I don't have the funds right now so I'm saving...it blows but will pay off. I'll be much more satisfied if I do it right the first time. Stupid college is sucking me dry. LoL.

 

I think you will want to save yourself the time and money and get some quality parts.
A cheap manifold will crack and break easily and a cheap wastegate won't hold/regulate boost.
Do it right and it will be worth it.

 

Just curious... How do you plan on spooling a TC78 with a B16? ( assuming its the TC78 off ur SUV )

 

Let him figure it out.

 

The tc78 went On as the replacement. I had the "big kahuna" t4/t04r on my tahoe. Spooled fast as **** but fell off up top. I took it of for the tc78. The I worked a deal for a t3 housing. So now it's a t3/t04r. Why would I want to unturbo my tahoe. Lol it's too fun to drive for that.

 

I'm still going to go with a cast mani. I like the idea of cast over tubular. But I think I'll hold out for the turbo parts and go ahead and do wideband, egt, fuel press and better tuning (don't like this chrome). But I'll probably stick with a eBay intercooler. I've seen guys run the plenty of times with back to back comparisons and for the price alot of times their not too bad. But the piping is junk most of the time.
