Worth the $$$

Hey guys what do you think of this
Click me

I'm looking and it appears to be "ok" for the money. I don't see a BOV and some of the piping looks odd.

1) The piping is made from flexible exhaust tubing. BAD.
2) No IC does, in fact, make Baby Jesus cry.
3) WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BID THEN ASK???

Some people are just morons when it comes to Ebay items.

now hold on what you want to look at is loss justify the gains.

now for straters if your going with this kit then you must have some boost knowoldge becuase youd have to be out of your right mind to buy a custom kit with no instuctoins with out the know how.

if you do then you know that your going to need some of these parts any way. The turbo looks ok the manifold to oil lines He said theres a DP which alone is worth it to me.

what you need to do is get in contact with the seller try to figure out the kit and call it a day.

but if you plan on buying this to just slap it on your in for a ruff time. so have a good day and if you need help I check my pms.


and why is an non intercooled setup bad?

there are plenty of disadvagntes of having one.

Ok lets do a little math. Lets say I try to piece a kit together. The manifold alone shipped is gonna be around $300, then you have the turbo witch will run around $250-350, I mean its not to far gone that the $610 I bid will be unjust. What else from the pic do you think I would need? JCavi thanks for the help, and hypsy why am I a moron?

do not buy those $200 turbos off ebay. if you are going to buy a turbo, buy a new T3 from Garrett or http://www.cheapturbo.com. If you would like reasoning, check out Shifted's post about his cheap turbo that caused a lot of problems. They are pieces of crap.

dude, that "cast manifold" is the stock exhaust manifold with the end cut off and a new flange welded on the end.

Easy - post a bid retraction. GIve them the excuse "after speaking with seller items are not of the quality I expected when I entered my bid." or some crap like that.

Easy as pie. You're allowed to retract bids, you just can't do it often.
