the price is becuase it doesnt come with an intercooler or fuel system.
for fuel you have to do either e-manage, or vortech FMU with inline pump.

not only that, you need some custom welding / cutting of a few pipes on that kit.

Exactly, it doesnt come with the downpipe and the intercooler piping has to be deburred and cleaned. Also, I emailed the seller and to see if it were a/c ,and power sterring compatible, etc. All he could say was he didnt know because the test car they installed it on had the a/c removed to reduce weight. Its not a bad price for whats being offered in my opinion, but I plan on keeping my a/c. Average temps are too high in FL for me to go without it as a daily driver.

not worth the money, no fuel management and no intercooler. if u get intercooler and fuel management (greddy emanage) it'll total to about what you spent on the turbo ($1500) + $1000 for the extra parts...


and its a no name brand, meaning who knows if it is good, or will have any problems once you put it on your car... if you are serious about getting this kit [like what you said when you tried to buy mine, then later faked] i recommend you ask how it looks on the car itself, and if there is a dyno that you could look at to see how it compares with other competiting kits...

At first I didnt think it was that bad of a deal because u get a polished manifold and turbo which is a turbonetics T3 a/r .63 and 60 trim (decent), a billet bov and wastegate which is external and many other misc parts that you'll end up needing along with mandrel bent pipes that can probably be used. However, after hearing someone say plan on replacing the manifold after a few months I wouldnt touch the kit with a 10ft pole. lol

And why would someone make a comment saying how small the turbo was? That turbo is awesome for our cars.

Actually those guys are pretty cool - that's where I bought my 2.5" ss for my charge piping from - good deal, good price. The kit looks decent for the money they sold it for. The only downfall as stated before is no intercooler or fuel setup, but still a good deal nontheless....

that link doesnt work. i could just bolt it up and see where the piping goes, but then my car would be out of commission for a week or so while i waited for the intercooler to arrive, then i wouldnt be able to get to work. what kind of intercooler do you have maxxam?
