$200 Turbo...

You have to put the extra t infront of http because i dont have the 15 posts yet, so i cant make a link

I'd be pretty cautious on Ebay these days. It seems like everyone gets ripped off in some way or another. I don't have turbo, but by reading up on alot of posts, the actual turbocharger is something that you definately don't want to go cheap on as well as those OBX manifolds they sell. Search up on here and you'll find out more info.

jwcardy is on a distinguished road
there is no such thing as a cheap turbo kit...you spend all this time making your car look good...dont build a cheap setup for it...the turbo is the heart of the kit, you dont want it failing on you, so i suggest spending the money that it takes to get the one that you want...i just spent $1200 on my turbo for my srt, thats just the turbo, not the complete kit...and i would have done the same for my civic when i had it too....
