Im not sure about the cheaper kits on ebay. Someone may chime in with some details.

Also, as a word of advice. Don't make a new thread with every new idea that comes to mind. It is okay to ask more than one in a thread. I.E Your welcome thread 1 hour ago. Not trying to be rude, just forewarning you.

There is a reason some turbos are a couple grand. So look at all the stuff you get for $600. You get what you pay for.

Got to watch the cheaper turbo's. They come with junk bearing's. You take the risk of metal shavings cruisig around where you dont want them..
