If it was me, I won't even consider it unless, I could actually see all the parts that he got listed in person, $2500 sounds way too good for all the parts that's suppose to come with it. Just way too much scam or the very least, over-exagerations on craig's list. Years ago, I bought my first (suppose to be a complete kit according to the seller) single turbo kit from a private seller of e-bay, to make a long story short, I could have bought a brand new kit after all the money I had to put in it to make it a usable complete kit. Either buy from one of sponsors here or buy a used kit from a member here that have a good history.

Louis, I think TTi race kit's turbo is located on the passenger's side with the compressor's inlet pointing to the front, this one is on the driver's side with the compressor inlet pointing the right side.

I've bought a used Turbonetics turbo before from a guy claiming it was in perfect working order, it had no shaft play, no oil leaks and looked great. I ended up not using it and selling it to a friend. Well when he installed it the turbo leaked oil into the exhaust and smoked like crazy. Point is sometimes a deal isn't a deal. I'd rather spend the extra money and know exactly what i'm getting because I bought it.
