Default ebay sts style turbo

did a search and saw that no one had seen these yet i do not think....

tell me what you all think of this... its definitely not from the "universal" turbo kit people..

this seems like a pretty sweet deal

Seems like a decent deal! Turbo seems small tho... I'd lose the t3 and step up to a t4 70-76mm should perform all right then.

well at most your only gonna run 8 pounds right? would a t3 not be large enough to support a 350 running that much?

he says that it does not come with downpipe or flange, how would i get ahold of those parts

Did you look at the pictures? There are a couple of bends, a T3 or T4 flange, some random hoses, a POS harbor freight oil pump and a $100 turbo. That is it.
