I'm into normally aspirated machines myself but, whatever turns your crank. ;) My instinct tells me that the existing turbo kits are not 100% reliable. I would do an engine swap first!!! :D

DO NOT risk buying a used turbo kit UNLESS it is priced extremely low.
That price is not extremely low.
The Buy It Now price is what you can get one for BRAND SPANKING NEW.
Pass on it.

Def.....for that price it'll only cost you a little more $$ for a brand new one.
well for 1900 I could get it.
thats 400 less than a new one and it comes with guages, timer, and bov... thats another 400$ - so $800 less...
Seems to be a fairly good deal to me... ?
I dunno... But I see your points...
fuck, decisions, decisions...
im offering him 1750 shipped in the other thread... if he wants the money, I want the turbo...

Anyway, thanks for the feedback guys. I almost dropped 1900 hundred on it today... Im glad I didn't. ;)
we'll see what happens.

ever wonder to yourself why that turbo has been passed through 3 people already?
just saying, everyone seems to decide "it wasnt for them" after they dropped all that money on it.
sounds fishy to me.
probably missing something more than just a manifold cover, or theres something else wrong w/ it.

Damn, he is never going to sell that kit. He should just take the loss and unload it for $1200
