Considering buying this setup. Any info would be appreciated.

Its the turbo and FMIC kit for the 2G. Looks good to me but I'm not an expert. Hopefully the DSM gods can lead me in the right direction. If this doesn't sound like a good deal, do you have any other suggestions. Thanks.

There are a couple kits out there. A good number of the threads in the link below deal specifically with ebay turbo kits. Although I could not find your specific one, you can at least get a taste of other members experience with purchasing, installing, and running them.

EDIT: OK, just had a second look. Real professional isn't it? Is that a red blanket laid out on concrete? The FMIC piping is missing a 90* bend. There is no J pipe for the turbo. How does the intercooler mount? Does the Greddy-RS come with the recirculation kit? I don't see it.. and what the heck does "Modification required" inply?

Look at the feedback: Negative feedback rating Item not as discripted. will not fit. not all parts shipped Do not buy from them

My humble advice? Buy the best parts you can get for your money, not the most parts you can get..

Alot of people have recently been making good power off of ebay products. I personally think some of these products are identical, coming from the same factories, just without brand names stamped on them. At the same time, some of these products are just crap. With that said, there's really no other concrete info out there. The only way to tell with this kit is to try it out. If you don't mind being the guinea pig, I'm sure the DSM community would be very grateful. Just look at the ebay FMIC kits... someone tried them, realized they were great, and now nobody buys from the big vendors anymore.

only thing i dont like is the lack of important pictures, like the inlet of the turbo the outlet maybe? a shot down into the turbo housing, inside the intercooler piping, close up of the couplers and clamps. other then that , its a pretty dang good deal.

Personally I don't run the knock off products, while some may work & other don't I prefer to spend the extra to get the best quality products and do it once/do it right. The link you have posted is all knock off products. Just take a look at the price, you normally pay about that just for a real MHI evoIII turbo. While the ebay FMIC seems to have got good reviews (see the posts on this board), I'd stay away from the knock off products for items such as the turbo. For this I would go to one of the reputable vendors listed on this site.

I have eBay parts on my car and they work great. IC Pipes, intake, FMIC, stuff like that. But for parts I consider "Mission Critical" like turbo, injectors, and engine internals I buy directly from a manufacturer or authorized dealer that has a reputation of backing up their product. For some things, buying cheap isn't always a bargain.
