by the time you're done getting turbo headers to put those turbos on and get your custom piping made you will have spent enough to get a legitimate used turbo kit from a reputable forum member that was made by a reputable company like Greddy or TN

in the end its just not worth the hassle and uncertainty for chinese knockoff turbos and sub par quality parts being put in your engine bay

probably one of the most important things that can be said to someone going FI (and I'm sure many of you FI veterans will agree with me) is that you don't cut corners or take the cheap way out cuz you only end up paying twice and most often it ends up costing more in ways you never imagined

Just remember you get what you pay for. You'll never have to ask a question such as this again if you remember that.

"ALL SALES FINAL. READ DESCRIPTION BEFOER YOU BUY TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS. THANK YOU. **ALL CUSTOMERS RECIEVE TRACKING VIA EMAIL UPS NOTIFICATION**

EMAIL JDMCIRCUIT@GMAIL.COM IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS."

Then you have this:

LAST ABOUT 20,000 MILES BEFORE NEEDING A REBUILD

Last but not least:

IF THE ITEMS IS NOT STATED OR NOT PICUTRED DO NOT ASSUME WE INCLUDED IT FOR YOU CAR.
THE BOX IS VERY LARGE - AND THE WEIGHT IS ALMOST 75 LBS OR MORE! SHIPPING IS NOT CHEAP!
NO MANIFOLD OR DOWN PIPE INCLUDED YOU NEED TO FABRICATE YOUR SELF
There was a Greddy kit going for 4200 i belive brand new at one time on Ebay, but for 900 naa i don't think you will have a complete kit. you can't even get a good Functional turbine for that price...
