I don't know, man. Read the first feedback from "team_jsj" or whatever that is. he's got a few praises but a lot of nasty complaints, too. Shop around. Don't want to get screwed out of 10 bills, right?

ya dude the prices are great... if anything EVER shows up... I'd message the kid who left the "I want my turbo" feedback and see if he ever got it...

looks shadier than the underside of a willow tree.

yea im team jsj. well i didnt buy the turbo kit. my friend did. i just help him bid on it.i say dont buy the turbo from the person.he LAGS. 1st time i e mail him he said the parts are not in stock. the next email he said he would ship it at thursday. next email he said he gonna ship it out on monday.and other BS.

i email other people who bought the turbo kit. they said he lag and the kit didnt come in after a few months. its been like two months and still no turbo kit. this other guy i talk to said he ask the seller if he can pick up the turbo kit.the seller no?sound fishy.

what can my friend do if he gets scamed by the person? he paid with personal check.?

Get him to send you more pics of the set up and all the parts, but make sre they are together. Seems he just found some pics of each peice and put them on there. Ask him to show you all of it at once. That should prove something. Don't bid either way.

6 negatives out of 13............STAY AWAY.

here is what he does........when he says say which car you have....he has none of the parts in stock...he gets your money then goes through his dealer and gets the parts...when it takes forever getting a part it is cause his dealer is out of stock.....it is not hard to get a business license and setup a wholesale account with someone.
