Default questions on an unknown cheap turbo kit please give advice

www.notasponsor.com


I found that turbo kit on ebay and if it all would work with less than 500 worth of custom extra parts I think it be a hell of a deal. but I have no experiance with boost or turbos in anyway. please let me know yalls opinions I have about 1800 to throw at my car at the moment and I would realy like to go turbo or supercharged. I dont want to boost it past 7psi in all honesty and I already have a ported set of heads and intake waiting to be installed. thanks in advance guys

Backup a little bit. There is a lot of good stuff on ebay.

I bought a great looking kit from ebay and there are a bunch of guys running it.

The difference between this one and mine, is that the one i got is an actual turbo kit for my car, while this is just a bunch of straight pipes and stuff.

^^^i agree like the ptk kit or whatever its called is kind of nice and there are some with great results too, but for his budget i think he better read all the turbo faqs first and understand that there is alot more than just bolting on a kit to have it run. i think imo he ahould read all the yellow in the FI section before buying anything

ya when you put all the little things into word and make a list its a little daunting, but when you want to go fast you gotta pay the price
