Default question on turbo kit on ebay

I found this turbo kit on ebay for 98-02 camaros, I am having trouble posting up the link but you just type in ls1 turbo kit on the search button and only three results are shown, its the third item. The kit costs $888?? I dont really know much about turbo kits, but thats a very low price for a turbo kit. what do you guys think?

also try ptk kit also, its not all that easy as buying and installing. hang around the forced induction section and learn about how FI works first, than how to upgrade fuel systems, than tuning, than cam and valveterrain and so on...good luck youll learn tons just dont rush into it

if it sounds to good to be true...it is...

no numbers.. i havnt even started it up yet since the kit has been on, no transmission

just search "ebay turbo" on here and a few threads will pop up. monello has a good thread going.. i had a thread going, but i havnt updated it in for ever, but it has alot of pics.. here is a link to some of the newer ones http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j6...BO_Z/?start=20


everyone who gets this kit ends up blowing their trannys, so be prepared to spend another few thousand on a good one..

here are a few threads to look through

frost also has a good thread on his PTK build up (the kit this one was cloned after)

There are many associated costs with going F/I. Transmission, rear end, suspension, fuel upgrades, instrumentation, tuning, etc.
IMHO, it is well worth the cost. I took a co-worker to lunch today, and to say the least, he was impressed. And there is more to come. (As usual.) But the total cost is much higher than one might think.
There is a sticky at the beginning of this section that discusses some of these things.
