:talon:I found this turbo/intercooler and all the goodies kit on ebay for a hell of a deal. The guy has a really good rating (99.3 after selling 3800 Items) real good rating and Im am thinkin about buying this. Does anyone know if theis is a deal or a dud? If its a good turbo, manifiold, intercooler, wastegate and BOV it is a helluva deal. Check it out and let me know what you think or if you would spend your money on it.

eBay Motors: Turbo Kit for 4G63 EVO Eclipse Talon DSM 1g 2g T04E (item 370042758946 end time Apr-19-08 14:25:06 PDT)
 
cheap knock parts on everything will probably fail in a few weeks.

600 for a kit that is everything is a china knock off, no inter cooler pipping and instead of an oil feed line kit you get another one of those 10 dolla fpr, the kit is junk.
 
The turbo may blow after 100 miles, the FMIC may leak or bust a weld under boost. The manifold design is similar to the budget manifold sold by Home but it may end up cracking in a few eeks.

That kit is really cheap, the issue is that you don't know the quality of the parts. It does come with a 1 year warranty against "MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS", but I'm not sure if/how the seller will honor the warranty.

The 99.3% rating maybe because the parts are new and last long enough for people to give positive reviews. If every thing takes a crap 3 months later, you can't go back to ebay and change your review.

If you want to take that risk - go for it! I wouldn't buy it.

+1 stay away from cheap knock off stuff, you gotta pay to play.
 
I actually know some one who had purchased a kit similar to this one and all i can say is its a wasted of 5-600 dollars. Like so many people have said on this site before don't cheap out on parts unless you plan on buying them twice.
