Turbo Kit for $899!?
Tuesday, February 20, 2007 8:14 PM
I saw this on ebay helping my younger brother find a car (maybe a sunfire). I found this:

Turbo kit

Is it just me or is this auction missing a few thing? Has anyone heard of the Manufacturer? It looks like it has the major parts but is missing the nuts and bolts. I'm still kinda new to the whole turboing thing. Also, if the link doesn't work then try ebay item number 250085730819. Thanks

i think they meant that they never tried to use it themselves... although, it is pretty funny the way they worded it.

I'll give this one a shot...Those turbochargers are of very poor quality and tend to malfunction after only a short amount of use, apparently they are held together by glue. You would be much better off just saving up and only having to do it once with a nice quality kit. As far as it missing things, I can see it has no oil lines provided, as well as you would probably need more tubing for your intercooler and you would have to custom make your downtube.

I wondering about the oil lines and such. I did indeed notice the horrible chinglish (not a racial slur, even the chinese actually call it chinglish). I'm just trying to picture the difficulty of a turbo correctly. And no, i was not seriously thinking about purchasing this. Thanks for the answers though.
