Turbo kit off ebay question..
 

hey im just wondering im in the hunt for a building my turbo kit... i was basically looking around for a T3 or 16G but sice i SEARCHED and notice how everyone says that a 16G might fall on its face in higher rpms... i think ill go with a T3..

Carbon Fiber SSQV "style" BOV... this thing is rediculous.

I would save the thousand bucks and put it towards a real kit... I wouldn't do it, but it's up to you.

Also, nowhere in the whole description does it specifically say what brand of turbo it is... that thing looks like those shitty chinese knockoffs that have really bad construction. Think about it, if you have a "Greddy" turbo, you'd make a point of it to say so in the message.

Granted the description itself is well put together, it's mostly fluff and bullshit, designed to confuse someone who doesn't know the difference.

I wouldn't waste your money on the ebay kit. The guys in Ottaway however have great prices on the Yonaka Motorsports intercoolers and rads. Definately pick your IC up from them. Yonaka is a canadian company as well (AFAIK). :y

That is def. a chinese knockoff turbo trust me, I have one, i've heard mixed things about them, some people have bad luck and other have really bad luck. Who knows it might all work and work for a while but I regret buying mine and hope it lasts me until i can afford better.

hey guys thanks for the input..

so the Yonaka intercooler is a great start??? its seems small, but im not looking for huge ass power right now..
ive been reading alot of intercoolers and fitting them to the right turbo...i got this awesome write up from Aaron ( weiRtech ) and he said to reconfirm about the Bar and plate design...

other than that, where can i find a T3 - im actually doing a budget build but new parts here and there wouldnt hurt either... searching on Ebay gives me headaches... haha

i just tought the greddy knock-offs were too unreal for the price...
any more input would be greatly appreciated.. ive searched forever for the right turbo for a b16, HT, HMT, u name it...
last thign id want to do is blow my motor like that - i want some fun and reliabilty for a while before i jump into the internals!

thanks again guys..
