Gude Turbo for Ecotec....

I was looking at parts on Ebay and came across this GUDE Turbo of the 2.2L Ecotec and was wondering if anyone has heard of it and has had any experience with it. below is the Ebay link and the Gude site.

I don't trust ebay sellers with full kits...

If you're going to spend $3,200 on a turbo kit, go check out the Hahn Racecraft turbo kit.

NEVER Buy a full turbo kit from ebay, I would not even buy an exhaust from ebay.

What kind of bad business? Lots of positive feedback. I'm not doubting you I am just curious. And also how is anyone gonna know if no one tries it out? Someone in NC should hit him up and ask him to hook their cavalier up and get some dyno's on it with this kit and then see if we want to do a gp.

That kit is for the ecotec found in the Saturn Ion. The seller even says he works at Saturn, and the kit is actually featured in HCI, the August 2004 issue. I still have it laying around because it's the same issue that the Hahn kit is featured in the Ecotec Cavalier. Trust me, DO NOT BUY THAT KIT.

^ isn't the eco in the ion the same as the one in the cavi? unless your referring to the ion redline.

I'm sure the ecotec found in the Ion (non-redline) is the same as in the Cavalier, but I really doubt the kit would fit properly. The Ion's engine bay isn't the same as ours, and I seriously doubt the kit would fit very well at all. The intercooler piping in the Gude kit is pretty crazy, as anyone who has seen the installed kit would know. If I was you, I would go with the Hahn kit.
