Need Advice ASAP!

[poppabear]

Is $500 a good price to pay for this list of used parts. Assuming everything is in good condition, Also i would have to pull all the parts off the car myself, what are some things i should look for to trigger a reason not to buy ?

-60 trim turbo
-Hks blow off valve
-Tal Sport Wastegate
-Turbo Manifold
-Front mount intercooler with all pipings
-full straight pipe exhaust with high flow cat

Looking to move on this ASAP, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Best thing you can do when you find used parts is look at the condition first.
Second you look on ebay for the same exact parts in the same condition if that doesnt work google prices
then average out the prices and determine if its worth it

Thanks for the fast reply, but based on the parts listed alone "assuming" good condition, would you say $500 is a fair price ?

-60 trim turbo- Check the turbo for shaft play and or leaks.(what brand)
-Hks blow off valve- Make sure it isnt a knock off and that it works.
-Tal Sport Wastegate- Agian make sure it works and that it isnt fake.
-Turbo Manifold- (what brand) inspect for warpping and cracks.
-Front mount intercooler with all pipings- Make sure it doesnt have and holes in the core, and that the couplers are in good condition.(what brand)
-full straight pipe exhaust with high flow cat - (what brand) make sure it fits the car you have.

If they are in good working order it is deff worth 500

Oh sorry about that long ass day haha
it sounds like a great deal but check it out first

Sounds too good to be true. Be careful if this is an internet purchase. If all those parts are in good condition then you are basically stealing it from them...if it is a local purchase.

If not, then they are gonna be stealing your money as soon as you pay them over the internet IMO.

I don't know the details of the deal, but if you get to pull the parts off the car yourself and can pay him after you inspect them, then holy shit go get all of it. The WG, BOV, FMIC & piping is worth that much alone.

Thanks for the advice, i am going to go take a peak at the parts today. No, its not an internet deal, all local. Seller agree's to let me inspect items before finalizing the sale.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Thanks again,
Mike

As AWD-TSI said, check to make sure the name brand parts are truly name brand, and not knockoffs (look identical). Obviously, name brand will have the name on them in plain view. Take a look at the intercooler ends and the piping ends to see if they are bead rolled (as many Ebay kits aren't). If they are all true parts, that's an excellent deal seeing as the wastegate and BOV could easily be 200 brand new a piece, and a FMIC kit is 300+ from a lot of vendors.
