think about what youre asking about.

1) it's $700
2) it sounds like you think it's too good to be true
3) if it sounds like it's too good to be true, it probably is
4) it's listed on ebay
5) "Some Additional parts might need to done the installation" & "All Turbo Parts may need modification to fit your application" which implies that it is a universal kit - universal anything is generally not a good idea (especially when it comes to something like this). in addition, i'm willing to bet your installer would go through hell trying to make it fit.

just some food for thought..

Youd think the price tag alone would set off enough alarms! $8000-14000 or $700, hmmm..... Somethings not right here.

i dunno... but here is a simile for educational purposes.

putting a universal turbo kit from ebay on your $35K g35 coupe is like putting your normal human p3n15 into a 50 cent hooker from pluto with a meat grinder vag: neither will fit into the other, and no one (especially, you) will get any enjoyment out of the process.

I don't know much about these parts, but I know one thing that price will not be $700. That is starting bid.
