So I've been trying to pick out a ebay turbo kit for my budget build 5.3 so has anyone had luck with any kit particular? Most of the really cheap kits say max hp 500 im looking for 500 to the wheels so maybe 600 crank hp so I skeptical of them but from what I read many hours have had luck with ebay kits I just am looking abt advice thanks

Build your hot side with manifolds or whatever and buy the sloppy kit from vsracing.. really the cheapest way unless you just want to go through ebay and pick everything you need..

I would build my own hotside before using an ebay hotside. they usually have a lot of fitment issues. Their manifolds seem to work pretty good, but I prefer to use the stock truck manifolds for everything.

The go-to ebay turbo is the $220 68mm GT45. Good for 600 or so at the wheels depending on the setup. Squeeze Performance will sell you a T4 flange and a GT45 downpipe flange to help you get the hotside piped.

Yeah ima use my truck manifolds and have a buddy that's works at a hot rod shop as a fabricator and will weld it up. the turbo its what I was worried about thanks guys
