That got the same main ingredients as all the rest of the ebay kits. Read that thread about the ebay kits. Its in the sticked threads at the top of this forum, the one that says something about Ebay kits.

your stock injectors will crap out on you like it did on my t25 set-up. ebay turbos are crap also read the stickies on ebay crap. I rather you go with stuff that has been proven to work such as jgs kit. You will end up spending more money on cheap stuff. So do yourself a favor and buy quality parts that have been proven worthy.

yes get bigger injectors such as 450cc or bigger, walbro 255lph fuel pump, fpr, and emance ecu tune... pretty sure you would need more stuff to complete the kit. i really dont trust any ebay products. maybe i should change my username to gibsonguitarist. LOL BTW i have a Gibson LP studio, you want to buy it?

There are a few things I don't like. They misspelled lots of words, used the wrong words and they posted incorrect information. Like "tapping the oil pan for cooling"? Yeah that's why we tap the pan right guys?

Any company that can't take a few minutes to correct grammar and posts something blatantly wrong on their website will NEVER get business from me nor my recommendation.

People need to leave this Egay crap alone, its hit and miss (mostly miss). If You cant afford to buy "real" turbo parts then you deffinantly cant afford to keep your turbo'd 240 running properly. A turbo'd vehicle cast a lot of money to maintain, especially if its tracked.

lol i agree. i bought a t25 ebay turbo for 300... only lasted a short time and made weird noises right off the bat. now i am very happy with the quality turbo i have now. i also bought a BOV from ebay. $45.... didnt even work a little bit so i had to spend $200 on the exact same one only it was made by TurboXS. Also the pics look nice but when you actually get the stuff its all dinged up and is loaded with imperfections. that is my Ebay experience.

also Phase2 sells those cheap ebay t2 turbo manifold w/ elbow and OMG when i saw it i was like what the F*ck is this. the elbow looked like someone gave up half way using a dremel. LOL Phase2motortrend selling cheap ebay products but for double the price, no offense but they are a known shop and shouldnt be selling crap for soooo much.
