New ebay turbo kit? Gotta lot of shit in it...

This just doesnt seam like a good idea to buy this kit.. if you want more power, buy all the bolt ons you can afford and kpro.. it will be more reliable and still probably faster than most cars you'll see on the road everyday..

I just dont think its worth the risk..some people might though and if you are brave enough go ahead, i just have a firm belief that it will cost more than a higher quality kit in the long run.

if still had the ep with the a3 in it i wouldn't mind getting an ebay kit, but 'd piece it the kit together myself. ebay turbos are ok if primed and you don't mind changing it once a year. get an ebay log manifold, you wouldn't gain as much power but you wont have to risk it cracking compared to the "full race" manifolds they have. also get k pro and make sure the intercooler piping you get is ep specific or a greddy replica, i found that ic piping to be the easiest to install haha

I would piece together your own kit. Buy a precision turbo, they seem to be the best for your money. My ball bearing one was about 1250, and has no shaft play or leaks after a year of beating

Ebay stuff is no fun unless you value the short term over long term.

After about a year, shit will break. Just wait. You always get what you pay for
