thats a nice price, but with ebay u run the risk of it being some cheap crap that will die at 300 miles, with that said, if they say its brand new in box then y are they out of the box huh ANSWER THAT 1

I don't see any sort of fuel management/upgrades, so you will have to invest in larger injectors and a fuel management system of some sort. Sounds very sketchy though. If you are looking for a cheap kit, piece one together after you have purchased the intercooler, turbo, manifold, and downpipe.

When going turbo, you can't go cheap...you need good components. I'm a little sketchy on the "super manifold" "super wastegate" "super bov"...who knows what kind of shitty quality parts they threw in.

Turbo costs a lot of money. If you don't have the money to shell out, keep saving until you do. You will not be happy when you blow your motor from a crappy turbo like the one you mentioned because of lack of proper fueling and an overall shitty quality.

dont get it man. i got the turbo from them. and its sucks. some things i see on that kit just will not work on a Teg.
1. no down pipe.
2. manifold
A) if you look at it their is no support so you will get stress cracks
B) look where the wastegate comes out. that is going to go right in to your radiator no way that is going to fit.
C) the turbo will sit low, so you will not have A/C
3. intake pipe- their is no place for the BOV to go in.
4. Turbo, i got that same turbo and the down pipe out is a 4 bolt pattern not a 5 bolt pattern.

just to let you know. i have a 95 GSR and i spent all last week putting on my turbo. I was not ready for it. i rushed and it took alot longet then it should have to install with alot more prob.

bigpimpinGSR if you are going to put a turbo on take your time on getting the parts and get nothing but the bast. it will save you alot of money down the line.

Looks like a nice kit, but don't trust anything you see from ebay, especially for your car. $1200 is a very nice price though.
