$1100 turbo kit?

[einstein57]

Seems like a lot of stuff you don't need or should not use. For example the turbo timer, oil cooler (your car should already have one), electric fan thats probably crap, voltage stabilizer, cheap air filter, and the crappy catch can that have been the cause of many smokey engines. That and it does not even tell you what the wastegate is set at. It saysto utilize an external wastegate which the manifold has not provision for and the picture shows an internal wastegate on the turbo. If you add up all the essential parts on the kit like manifold, turbo, intercooler and plumbing, BOV, oil feed and drain, and a K&N air filter you'd be spending about $800 shipped on ebay. That other $300 can go towards your downpipe, injectors, spark plugs, engine management, head bolts, wideband, etc.

lol. One guy that bought a ebay kit got that manifold, turbo without a internal wastegate or back housing and a external WG haha

lol ok.

Why not just use everything else and supply you own turbo?

[Gruelius]

manifold is fragile, 2.5" piping is smaller than 2.5" by a wee bit, couplers will explode with boost.

couplers will explode with boost.

Really?

I mean, you know this from experience?

That's weird, because I have used the cheap Ebay intercooler piping kits before to fab up my own stuff..... I always used their cheap couplers. 25psi + sometimes and never had one explode like you say.

ive never done it myself but ive heard of it happening. i am talking about the straight rubbery silicon ones without the reinforcing in it

I bought a intercooler piping kit from CXRacing on ebay and have had no issues.

I know what you are talking about though, pep-boys sells the real cheap-o junk for their "custom intake" systems.

the CRracing intercooler kits are the business. Stay away from everthing else becuase they have cheap thin tubing and rubber couplers.

eBay junk lol
