Default Ebay TT's

I'm new to the turbo scene. So I'm not looking to put a whole lot of money into my first one.
I found this twin turbo kit on Ebay, and wanted to get an opinion on it.

If I do buy it, I plan to put it onto a small block stroker and hope for about 4-500hp.
For 1000 dollars, I'm just worried about the quality. Does anyone know about these?
What are the pros and cons?
Thanks in advance.

A lot of people ask about those turbos on Ebay and everyone always tell them they are POS's, so nobody has bought one to tell us if they are any good. I have been waiting on someone to buy it and tell us if they are worth anything. I say go for it and let us know how it turns out for you so we will know once and for all.

yet another ebay turbo thread.
Does no one ever search ?

You will need to spend about $3k for a good turbo kit
If you cant afford $3-4k for this, just give up the dream now.

It will make 400rwhp on bone stock engine.

Im not new to the turbo scene. I had a 90gt I put a Ebay Single turbo on. my Hotparts kit was awesome but the turbos are ****. I drove my car for three days with the turbo and the seals blew. It looked like I had james bond smoke screen. If your gonna do it. do it right. You will be very dissapointed. Yes the ebay turbos does make boost but only for about 100 miles. Mt intercooler had a whole in it the size of a nickel that I had to have welded, My wastegate stuck closed and I hit 19psi and popped BOTH head gaskets. Get a hellion they are nice kits. I would highly recomend going with a paxton s/c. Its much easier and cheaper than a turbo kit and makes plenty of power.
