Default Ebay turbo

Anyone ever use anything like this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVR...item5ad44d7ce6

Looking at putting about $1500 in a ls1 thats in my 02 vette. Trying to decide if I should use that money for 243 heads, cam, tune, or a turbo kit and tune. Thanks Kris

That is just a collection of CHINESE Crap in order to get money from you.

If you want to boost your vette or put heads/cam on her call us and I will personally lay down for you what is required. Those ebay specials are junk....
All it is, is a pile of stuff that represents a product that they want you to believe is worth forking over your money for, don't waste your time and money.

If putting a twin turbo kit on your car only cost 1500 dollars everyone would have a twin turbo kit......

The ls1 is coming out of the vette and going into a Factory Five GTM kit car. So I would have to custom make a the pipe's. Just exploring ideas.
