Ebay turbo kits destory engines and give little to no results, guranteed. If you want to go turbo you need at least $2000 for a low end DSM set-up to $4000 for a set-up with new parts that would put you around 250hp at relatively high boost.

I laughed a little when I saw the title of the item. I really don't believe that that kit will give you 485hp but you'll get something out of it. Just be ready for a lot of torque steer. Seems like a good deal.

Yeah that's really all I'm wanting to gain cause its a daily driver but do yall think this kit will harm my motor? I just want about 5 to 10 psi. The title of the turbo is pretty dumb but if I could get 50 to 100 safely I'd be happy.

but thats not the point. you will destroy ur engine with those cheap kits. you will have tons of air leaks and you will end up shelling out 2x more money to fix ur engine + a crap ton of wasted time and headachs.
