They arent sponsers on here, are you allowed to talk about them, or are the mods going to lock the thread?

Yes. It does look good. However, when it comes to turbos, I'd go new or remanufactured from a reputable shop. I'm not saying that this guy is necessarily a crook, but there have been so many Ebay horror stories when it comes to Ebay turbos. If you want to take the risk, go for it, but otherwise stay away.

The thread will mostlikely get locked. Yea, i have heard many stories about ebay turbos, i was more interested in finding out if anyone has used this kit or not, from reading their feedback, they dont have the greatest fitment. If i was going to use the turbo, i would send it out and have it rebalanced and rebuilt.
