Questions from a newbie
OK, so I found some cheap turbo kits on ebay. I know ive seen people get flamed before, but just for general knowledge. these kits popped up a couple of days ago. Other then engine management systems and injectors, what are they missing?

If this thread sucks, you can close it. I just want to know why a kit like this would only cost 1000. that seems cheap 		To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: Questions from a newbie
Yea, save up the money and buy a decent kit. Besides, Ebay warranties are hard to claim and I find a lot of stuff from there comes defective to begin with. 1000 dollars is a lot of money to gamble away in my books, but im CHEAP.

Re: Questions from a newbie
Please don't waste your money on an eBay kit. They are not quality products. If you are interested in boosting your car search and read. There is a lot of info on this site. Also, don't be afraid to search other forums too!

Linky Linky to get your learn on
It's from ClubRSX but a lot of the info still applies.
