ebay kit

[240 SR]

has anyone purchased a turbo kit or anything realted off ebay? i am looking at a fmic with all the piping and a top mount t3/t4 turbo kit on ebay from Auto Power Enterprise? please give me some feedback so i know whether or not to go through with it

I don't have any feedback with them or know of anyone...but I wouldn't do it. Waste of money.

why you say that?

I'm assuming this is the auction you're looking at. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

As good of a price as that seems, and the fact that the guy has 100% feedback, I'd still be weary of buying the kit. If you notice, the intercooler piping is not built to fit the sr20, it's a universal piping kit. The intercooler looks ok. I personally would not buy a turbo from a nonspecific seller. Nonspecific meaning he doesnt tell you who built the turbo. From personal experience, I would only buy a turbo from Garrett, Precision, Innovative etc. bc of the quality control and materials that go into their turbo's.

The wastegate and bov are also generic replica's, not saying that they dont work equally as well, just pointing out why the kit is so inexpensive.

hey 240 sr, i read about your problems with emissions and wanted to know how you got through it? Im doing an SR swap this summer and also live in VA. I think i got a emission connection but i dont know how reliable the guy is going to be so i would like to hear what you did. would appreciate the help.

i registered it at my aunts address in Newport News (they have no emissions) so if you know a buddy who lives somewhere with no emissions i would go with that then tryin to find a reliable source

Ive seen one of the IC kits with the blue coldpipe on a redtop, seems to FIT well enough... I bet the piping comes all dirty inside (seen this on a bunch of 'cool air' intakes from ebay) and with rough cut edges, the couplers are probly cheap single ply and im sure the hardware is all trash but the pipes themselves should fit ok. Intercoolers are just air to air radiators, nothing crazy going on there, and chinese kids can tig weld end tanks on well enough so any intercooler from a "noname" brand is probably okay.

Cheap intercoolers and pipes most likley equal boost leak. Blitz, greddy, hks and others test there FMIC for just that. more often then not you get what you pay for. be careful thats all
