16g Turbo kit.
A lot of these on kits on Ebay for 1000$. Intercooler and all. I know you guys tend to not like the cheap ebay stuff. Are they any good? Ayone running these?

ME MeMe do a search i talk about it enough as it is look under my name long story short 1500$ 200 whp no problem.
|
I would be suspect of the turbos genuineness.
|
+1 that is my only worry aside from there advocation of a FMIC. the rest is workable,
|
last time i had to modify my dp and repair a cracked manifold it was kind of a "problem"
|
i friggin time on mine you did it what 3-4
|
Have no idea what you guys are talking about. Anyone can answer me clearly? There is some issue with this kit?
|
here are the problems as I understand them. 1) The turbo is more than likely not a genuine MHI turbo, 2) The manifold while being SS is a very thin gauge and is prone to cracking, and 3) The bolt hole on the DP that is inside the first radius bend does not have clearance to actually put a bolt through there to secure the turbo. There are potentially other problems with the kit that I don't know about, but I have only read about those actual pieces. Keep in mind that a good price on a genuine evo III 16g would be around $500 give or take if bought brand new.

Thx, exactly what I needed to know.

The kit is far from an actual kit. Most the components are junk or need modifying to fit right. A buddy of mine has 2 drift days under his belt with his and the car has no trouble drifting 3rd gear. So far the manifold and turbo are holding up ok.
