Default Whys this so cheap

Im thinkin about a turbo kit for my GSR, and I figured id look on ebay. Some decent kits, but this one struck me as way too cheap (even considering the lack of fuel management and injectors) BTW, i know this should be in FI, but it wouldnt let me.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33742

Also, just wondering on what the gains would be from a T25 kit.

First off, it's SSAutoChrome so you know that the parts are complete pieces of ****. Second, the supposed "kit" doesn't include a downpipe, intercooler, piping, BOV, or any engine management at all. Basically they're just looking for a sucker.

Yeah for real, ebay sells so much shitty products it's not even funny. Well it may not be thier fault it's all these companies trying to make a quck buck of thier shiny bling bling POs turbo parts.

I would look into the sponsor forum here to purchase turbo parts
