before you get flammed I would suggest reading the stickies at the top, specially the ebay kits thread. As far as the kit, some of the piping and manifold might be usable, but the turbo is not recommended, they are built cheap and wont last. Also I wouldn't trust a kit without any engine manegment. I spend atleast an hour each day researching and reading old threads to help with planning my build. Yet I still dont feel comfortable with how much I know about going boost. If you want a reliable set up search search and search some more, before making decessions that could end up costing you alot more money in the end. Good luck

ok let me put it to you this way, ebay is ebay, they are all using the same or very similar shyt so the company isnt that important. for that price you could piece a great setup together. and not be using an fmu for tuning....

anywho, all but the turbo and bov are probably fine, toss on a real bov and get a tial spring/diaphram for the wastegate, name brand turbo, injectors,tune,wideband. go I know a guy ho runs the ebay turbos wihtou restrictor and has had no issues, I wouldnt trust them though...

look on the classifieds here, or your local craiglist ,or ebay as a last resort but only buy quality parts, but some parts are just not cheap.For turbos, garrett or turbonetics are the way to go.

ebay isnt good. there are some parts that work such as intercooler and turbo manifold but depends on who's selling it. remember you get what you pay for, so if you want cheap and reliable then you dont know what you're getting into.

you can do the jgs turbo manifold w/ gt3071r or bigger, and rom tune by efi, enthalpy, or JWT. one advice dont ever cheap out on your tune. good luck

OK, i was at your point just a little while back, i wanted to go turbo, but didn't have a lot of money, so i bought a nitrous kit, but still have not put it on due to work and college, then i started saving, now that i have i little bit of money, i am looking at better (Non ebay) parts. Going to look and some parts tomorrow. I suggest you save til you can afford better parts, the reason, you could cheap out and get the ebay, and it could last a while, or a month. And once you get your turbo the last thing you wan't to worry about is it breaking. It also depends on what yor goal is. If you only want in the 200 area then to start off you could get a sr t25, sr 370cc injectors, sr sidemount, and get some source of tuning. But just save and buy quality parts, in the long run you and your car will be happier.
