hmm im past due for a turbo kit, i did some research and pieced together a kit for about 2500, including the intercooler, t3/t4 turbo, revhard manifold, fuel pump, injectors, safc, and blow off valve. that doesnt include exhaust or oil lines or a turbo timer, etc. but let me know what happens with this. when are you planning on purchasing it?

Soo has anyone gotten that specific kit yet?I emailed him and got a resopnse...If no one else gets it i just might get it, although... i only got $1200 and my new 240 is an auto (booooooo), so if i could afford both a transmission swap and a turbo i will... then again coilovers would be nice... how can so much money seem like jack ****. Being 17 sucks....

A garret rebuild kit is under $100...so if the seals crap out just rebuild it. Then you'll have all new seals, new bushings etc all for a great price.

Turbo's are easy to rebuild even for a noob.

Seller got back with me but gave no advice on fitment or quality. He did say though that we could get discount prices ( wholesale ) if we start an account at this site http://www.advancedjdmparts.com/ I'm guessing there is some affiliation.

Do you have to re-balance the assembly or some shiz like that?

If you plan not too, just mark when dissasembling, and reasemble by the marks. I mean, there's turbo rebuilds out there. Search and i bet you'll find the info.

Here's 10 seconds of searchin:you should scribe a line on the compressor wheel and shaft before removing it, and bolt it back on with the lines lined up to get it as close to balanced as possible.

Got a message from the seller.I think he has no clue what hes talking about.

I asked him about the turbo elbows and haven't got a response yet.

I might want to just piece together my own kit.
