Thinking Of Boosting The Slowmaro.... Alright before i even ask this question yes i have searched about Ebay kits but i havent seen/heard anything about this kit.....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-02...Q5fAccessories......
I know the turbo is junk so i would most likely sell that anyways my question is how much power will this hold with a T76?!?!?!
Also if anybody has any info or experience with this kit please tell me what you thought about it....
Im somewhat a newb when it comes to boosting f-bodys but i have had a couple of turbo hondas (one of them was ebay boost) and i never had a problem with there stuff (so far) im just looking for a little info.....
Thanks....

i know some kid who bought an ebay kit. Alot of the piping did not fit and had to be cut and rewelded. V band clamps would not seal then broke. Tons more problems. You don't want the headache.

I had already figured that but i figured i'd give it a shot just to see it doesnt look to be to bad but it is from Ebay lol.....
I just like the design it doesnt look like it would have to many problems with clearence but you wont know until it gets put on the car.....

the kid i know bought the same kit from ebay. it was almost impossible to get it all to fit and many modifications had to be made. plus the vbands wouldnt seal then broke. that was only after a couple of miles.

Did you see this in bold red?
So, you still need a turbo. You're buying pretty much only exhaust components there
Please note: No fuel components, T61 T4 Turbocharger, intercooler, wastegate or mass air meter are included with this kit, misc hardware may be needed.

unless you just have to have your AC please do not get that kit. there has been lots of build threads here with that same PTK kit and all had lots of trouble (well some wouldnt admit it). just build a front mount setup with truck manifolds. li build all my hot piping for less than 400 bucks and that include all the wrapping and V Bands and manifolds. trust me turbo is the way to go. i'm glad to hear you kept your car.

I have no need for ac the car will be only a weekend warrior as a have the Jeep for a daily.....
Im not really looking for a 1000+whp race gas car more like in the 650-700whp range just something a little quicker then it was before she popped.....
I will deff. look into the truck manifold setup i got nothing but time on my side so building my own setup wont be a problem......
