    Nope dont do it man, I bought an ebay turbo kit once off of ebay just to see how it is, and on the same day i received it I sent that shit right back. Everything is nothing but cheap material and will brake.

    only buy piping for intercoolers off ebay, turbos look real but are cheap and will shit out soon so its pointless... its cheaper to go get used known working dsm setups which are much more reliable and fit perfectly

    yeah that bugs me too...if I read a sale item and it has a shit load of spelling mistakes, it makes me think its some person from another country that knows absolutly shit about anything and will rip you off at the drop of a hat

    Its your choice...but you are taking a big risk.

    I wouldn't trust any piece of that turbo kit...not even the piping or couplers.

    The turbo is not even worth its material...its that cheap chinese knockoff crap. Inferior materials and not balanced properly....its garbage.

    You would think the piping is worth it but not something that will last long to be honest. Yes it shiny and all..but the quality material really determines how well it will last and handle the pressure of forced induction.

    We had a kid come in at my friends shop that installed one of these "Ebay turbo kits" on his Civic and the turbo was already dead less than a month. The piping was a joke...thin gauged cheap metal piping....seriously, you were better off welding a bunch of Pepsi cans together for piping.
