do what u will, jus dont expect any street credit or props for ebay kits. ill take a NA engine thats solid over a shotty turbo anyday. b18c1, B18c5, B16a, K20, k24. with so many NA chioces why go cheap and get a lame turbo setup.
street credit?? dude shut up!! some people dont care bout street credit (ME!!!!) everybody has their own style and way of thinking,i do my own work and i can give a rats ass to who ever likes it or not,now let me ask you have you ever done a ebay turbo kit setup on your whip? guess not,so ur assuming that they are bad,it's a debate that has grown and grown but there's not a true answer to this debate,yes yes yes they are offbrand and your taking a chance on it,but as a start you cant go wrong...to people that has never done turbo ever,this is the way to go.
blaketeg has help me with some pointers in the built,he just told you that his built has work for him,with some diff. mods,take maintenance to priority,do some homework and we are here for you on any question,although
doin some research never hurts,quick pointer that ebay kit your looking at is missing some key components
*fuel pump-walbro 255
*oil line kit
*injectors
*piping still needs to be cut/modified
*gauges(boost,oil pressure)
get all your parts,do a compression test/leak down test(how healthy is your engine) and go from there...do your thing man and good luck!!!
