Default Need Help New.... What do yah think?

Okay guys i'm new to the turbo crowd and I need some guidance. What do you think of this Ebay Turbo Auction. It seems like a good deal to me. And here is my other question. Would it work in an LT1 F-body. I know it says any Gen 1 engine. Well I figured the Gen 2 and Gen 3s werent that different and maybe it'd work. Any help is appreciated

check out ststurbo.com for easy turbo applications. no matter what you will be spending lots of $$. I wouldnt think a turbo kit for a 1st gen would work for a 3rd gen.

That's a pretty cheap kit. Does it have everything? I don't see where the BOVs mount.
I also don't see a 2into1 connection for the cold side piping.
You do get most the components for less than $2500 though. Not sure if this is a good deal or not. Anyone?

It's deffinitely not a complete kit, and I doubt it will work in an LT-1 fbody, the turbos would hit something, but the headers would mount up to an LT-1 engine, if you were going to use that in something else, like a first gen. I'd save your money, those "kits" on ebay are usually to good to be true.
