Is this turbo kit reputable?

[earthwonder83]

I found this kit on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33620&item=2461466295
The seller claims everything is included and that nothing else will be needed. The thing is, he says it comes with a Greddy turbo? I've heard of Star and Hahn, but Greddy?

Tell me how it runs will ya. Haven't heard much of greddy turbos on n/ts.

Based on the picture, it doesn't look real legit. If there is no intercooler, then there are one too many pipes. None of the pipes look like they bolt on to anything either, so you may have to do some cutting to weld on that downpipe.

I mean, you can probably install the kit, with a little work, that's assuming the exhaust manifold actually bolts on to a 420a block. I can't tell from the angle on the picture.

yeah, i was going to send him the money today but im rethinking and going to talk to him a little more

DONT BUY IT UNLESS YOU GOT 1500 TO BLOW. save another 500 and buy one from a reputable dealer. i was taking for a ride on an ebay turbo kit. But im not hear to bash on ebayers. If you do get it then tell me how it goes. Just ask yourself do i really have 1500 to waste. I hope im not too late.

Look at his damn feedback -1...that says it all...Dont get ganked man ur just asking for it unless he is in drving range to go pick it up. If i were u I would be very very careful.

 

[lovemycar11]

I realized he was trying to screw me, so I bought a star stage 2 instead.

 

[jayden1]

thats great id hate to see another person get screwed on a turbo.

if you want to know how to go turbo and how to go turbo the right way, then go to 2gnt and learn about it. i've been reading about a custom turbo kit for over a year now and only on saturday did i buy my first two parts... a t-3 turbo and o2 sensor housing from and 84 thunderbird coupe and a crushed first gen bov. here's a tip... if it's not from hahn or star then you damn well better know your stuff and know what is included and what is not included. again read on 2gnt in the turbo forum and read till your eyes bleed, i promise you'll know what you're doing after reading there for a while. good luck partner.

that was pretty ####ing lame of you to uppercut on his deal... woulda been kinda ironic if you would have gotten it and got screwed over when he was asking about it in the first place...

 

[ughhhead]

chuckt, i'm not sure what you're trying to say, haha, who were you talking to?...
hey i just reread that post of mine and it sounded mighty asshole, it looks alot more harsh than i ever wanted it to look. i was just trying to stress the fact that 2gnt.com has an amazing resource for how to put a turbo kit together for a 2gnt. same with asog.net, they have a million and one posts about turboing a nonturbo too. i think i posted that after a shitty night at work, . sorry... i hope everything is going ok with your custom turbo idea. good luck maine.

 

[Chuckt]

no no no, that wasnt directed at you, i was directing it to lovemycar11 cause earthwonder83 posted a deal he found and lovemycar11 decided to steal it away from him.

 

[ughhhead]

oooohhhhhh i see now, and now that i see who you made that comment to, i'm gonna have to agree with you that that was kinda shiesty. :thumbdown

 

[lovemycar11]

I didnt steal it you idoit. I was talking to him ever since the first day he posted the kit on ebay. I talked to him for almost a week before this thread was even posted. Dont try to talk what you dont know anything about!
