exactly! if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. the raw parts alone in a decent quality kit will cost more than that.

idk much about this but it looks pretty legit to me, i'd actually really look into getting one if some1 can test it first. any1 know any links to any good turbo's for GT? i'd like a SC but too expensive for me so i figure i'd go for the next best

turbonetics makes a turbo kit that looks pretty good, I considered it for a little but I like the supercharger's powerband better, plus the turbo was is a little pricey.

It doesn't include anything for your fuel system, so add some cash for that. Plus, it's an ebay kit, so the turbo is probably junk and will need to be rebuilt and balanced right out of the box and still it might not last long. If it came with the fuel system stuff then I'd get it just for that and the piping and buy a different turbo. I would rather invest into something with a good turbo that I know wont take a **** on me quickly.

a good ball bearing turbo like a Garrett GT series or Precision will be $1,000-$2,000 right there. there's no way that this kit would last with the cheap components that this has to have to even break even on selling the parts let alone make a profit.

For the OP if you could find some real customers, not just some writing theyv posted, if you could find an actual customer and looks perfectley legit then go for it.
