hey i was on ebay the other day and saw these turbo kits for the ka24de from a company called mimo usa. so has anyone ever heard of them or tried their products, maybe the kit itself? it was about $2000. not a bad deal but you know what they say about getting what you say for. sorry i'm at work so i can't post any links right now.

I have never heard about the company my self,

But them Charging 2k for it sounds like an actually reasonable price.

Usually you see the ebay kits go for about 900 bucks.

But for 2000 dollars you can put together a nice reliable kit to suit your needs, thats including some type of Fuel management.

I think this is the one he is talking about. ..

Definately not worth it IMO. And the fact that they dont list the specs of everything is a little scary. From the looks of the single picture they have on there it doesnt look to be of any better quality than the kits for 800.

Here are the link for you guys to mull over, i searched and found em on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

To me it seems like the same exact ebay garbage thats being sold for about 1000 dollars cheaper The nice cast iron manifold in the picture is not the one they will send you, read the guys question. It looks like they are going to send you a SSAC t2 flanged manifold, with a Chinese turbo. The first and the last pic apparently arnt what you get.

FAIL! Please, dont buy that kit lol. For 2g's you can pick up a turbo kit that isnt a piece of crap from JGS.

hey sometimes you never know lol.. a company has to start from somewhere right? who was greddy or turbonetics etc so sometimes you gotta inquire before shutting em down! megan racing would probably be the best example! whats jgs website?

Looks like a bunch of shiny crap strung together to look like a kit. I'd be surprised if it even fits.

well... i know a guy around here who had the kit on his s13 running around, apparently he had run something to the AIV and tore his motor up :/ but anyways he's willing to get rid of the kit for 250, im seriously thinking about it, i mean the intercooler, or turbo (ball-bearing i hear) should be worth that much each
