What's the scam here?
 
Ok I know that you get what you pay for so this is clearly rediculous.

So can someone explain what the scam is here?

Thanks,
The reality is you stumble over these things when looking for legitimate products.

My 2 cents it looks like a piece of shit, and its cold side only there is no hot side to that kit!
and its a t3 do you drive a 4 banger?

its a t3... way to small a turbo.. Its in no way specific to an ls1. Its just parts, and some pipe and some bends.. All the stuff turbo/bov/gate are all knock off no name stuff.

Good luck, Chris

Yep, I saw that it was a T3 and all the pipes did look generic.

Unbeleiveable that they would have the nerve to list it specifically for our cars. I suppose they pray on the ignorant.


There are some legitimate things you can buy on ebay but from my experience a Turbo kit (you can find specific turbos) is not one of them. You can even find Superchargers pulled off of guys cars that are legit.

Here is another one. And if you are looking for something, this is what the search gives you!

its a 'starter' kit

it gives you the components to 'start' building your own custom system

nothing to do with a bolt on 'kit', and yea is potentially junk as well.

The name of the company says it all LOL. Mirage power sports........hmmmmm Wonder if they'll be there when you got an fbody turbo kit that doesn't work on your fbody.... lol
