Re: need some input

i highly advise against getting a turbo kit from ebay, or really most parts from ebay. you could build a better junkyard turbo setup.

Re: need some input

Nothing obvious sticks out to me. Looks cool. Ha, judgeing by your user name, you look dead set on getting boosted- So i'll save you the speach of maybe going another route like NA or nitrous. But everything comes with risks.

Re: need some input

ebay turbos... no personal experience, but everyone sez nay from what i hear... also it sez "99% NECESSARY PARTS ARE INCLUDED.(GASKETS,ASSEMBLY,BOLTS )" ask him or her what the 1% is that u will need.

Re: need some input

I wouldn't do it. Look at the crappy quality of those pics. Why post such blurry ones unless you're trying to hide something? You're much better off piecing together a homemade job from quality used parts, then buying one of those. For example, here's what happened to another one of those manifolds.



There are enough parts floating around for the 6th gens that you can piece together something more reliable for a little bit more than what that kit is going for. Take it slow, do your research (like you're doing now) and do it right the first time. It'll pay off big in reliability.

honestly though i'm sure you'd be 100% more satisfied with a quality product like the dezod kit.

Re: need some input

I agree. Even if you don't buy the whole kit, at least piece it together using reputable parts for the main components.
