So say your buying parts from someone on a forum for over 1,000 dollars how would you go about paying. Would you write a check so you could cancel it if you never recieve the product??

No, you would pay with paypal so you have 30 days to file a fraud claim.


I hope for$1000 you're getting alot.

1. make sure person has parts ready to ship at time of payment.

2. make very clear that you will be paying via paypal and after 15-20 days those parts are not in your hand, you will be filing a fraud claim with paypal.

3. dont send money to people who post ads that say ---- like "yo i got these fat turbo's for sale hella cheap dawg"

that's how i roll.

You're missing the turbo, and there seems to be some things in there that you won't/don't need. You could build a kit for half of that. (IMO)

I guess it depends on the quality of the parts we're talking about, but since you're trying to keep a/c, I'm not talking to you anymore.

hahaha.that was cold
yeh you could build a kit cheaper than that.
I've never paid anyone close to that amount of money online and neve would unless it was an established company.
for what you are already spending you might as well buy a guareenteed proven results turbo kit.
that what it sounds like your trying to buy... a kit ( not build your own correct?)
but yeh you are missing the most important piece in the kit...the turbo

I didn't see any fuel management for the 550's
spark plugs you should buy new any way unless he's selling you 4 for the price of one

that's all i caught
I personally think you can get a better deal

how long was the stuff on their car and do they have and pics?
