Not quite ebay, all parts that i purchased was new, but it was pieced together. I bought the turbo and intercooler off here (it was new). All said and done i have $3000 in it. Its a T4 GT45 Turbo, HKS wastegate, Turbo X 50mm blow off, 42lb Lucas injectors, walbro hi volume inline pump, Shurflo 8000 oil return pump, Glow Shift Direct gauges w/ triple pillar pod, and Gomer tuned.

Kind of what I was thinking. Not everyone has 7-10k to drop on a turbo kit.

Looks good man!

Great job man, don't let other people upset you just bc they are jelous. A Vette with a turbo, I'd drive it anyday! Looks great man! Not everyone is rich, I now I'm not. Try to piece together a kit myself right now, living on bread and water, LOL! Thing is too, I make around 100,000 a year but its not just the car that need the attention. The highest priority though. Good thing the womon doesn't go on here

Props to ya, its kinda low and I'd be worried about throwing rubber all over the turbo/filter when you put some tires on it. Good work tho!

yea, it looks badass dude!! and dont worry about the turbo being too low. That looks a little higher than mine is, and plus its right by the rear tires. You wont have any problems, not even with speed bumps. Just dont drive it like a liifted truck!!

Turbo looks low, but if you can avoid hitting it on stuff then go for it.

looks like the car moves out pretty good from the vids. Looks like fun
