Opinion on this kit I found
 
I found this kit on craigslist and although it's cheap I'm wondering if it can still be a waste of money. Here is the link, let me know what you guys think. Also, I spoke to the seller and any specifics are unknown or he just isn't saying much for whatever reason. Thanks in advance

That's kind of a so so price if you think of it just in terms of being Megasquirt plus a bunch of random fittings. The manifold and turbo are just random eBay parts, and so the advice in the eBay thread applies.

My usual advice in these matters: if you can't afford to spend $4k or more up front on the kit, you can't afford to drive a turbocharged car in general.

It's real blue. Would go good on a Subaru with matching colored horns.

So it's junk! I figured by he looks of it. Might just get the mega squirt. Thanks

If you can get it for a bit cheaper than what he's got it listed at, maybe.

Otherwise i wouldn't take the chance on a used unit if it's that close to new price.
