Sounds too good to be true = ALWAYS too good to be true.

[Julzy]

let me guess... its on ebay? If you bought it im sure you would get the stuff, it would just be of very poor quality. personally i would steer clear.

[daveR32gtr]

yeh...thought so....cheers.....

if only my high mount dreams were that cheap

im a sucker for the crazy deals

[paulr33]

$800 haha, wouldnt trust it with 10 foot pole

a good high manifold alone should cost you $1000

The Manifold is good but the Turbos are not so but the manifold and fit a good Garret turbo on it.

EBAY = dont go there

simple

[daveR32gtr]

how do u know the manifold would be good nib?.....what about the wastegate that comes with it?

BS - ebay is a great way to buy, you just need to do your research to know what you're buying is of 1.) good value & 2.) good quality.

At least you've asked the question and received the general concensus, for this particular item.

Ive had nothing but top buys off ebay, including a $2400 Akrapovic exhaust system 500kms old I paid $700 for delivered, a set of Keihin FCR flatslide 39mm carbs worth $2000 got for $1400 delivered brand new, etc etc. I could go on, I reckon 90% of my buys have been awesome deals........

Great way to save cash, but you NEED to research the product you are intrested in, so that you minimize the chances of getting caught out.

My 2c worth.

well what would be likely to happen if i did put this kit on my car.....best and worst scenarios?

[T04GTR]

hmm. i got a manifold of ebay. a xforce one looks pretty god but the runners are to big. i had it ceramic coated on the inside to make it last longer.

that turbo sounds like a chinese version of a turbinetics t60-1

t60-1 compwheel p trim rear. the housings are nice but thats it .

id try it but check the turbo each week for thrust bearing wear.

ps. my ebay manifold with t4 flange had to be modified to suit the garrett t4 size.

the bolt pattern is smaller but the gasket /port size is the same

for that price who cares :lol:

[R32-GTS]

Nothing wrong at all with the chinese/taiwanese rb26 manifolds as ive got one on my car and it has taken punishment with no failure yet. As for the turbo... no comment. Sticka garrett on it like NIB said

[ICER33]

ebay = suss

[N I B]

Ive used a lot of China manifolds and all have been very good, most of the wastegates have been ok.I have one never seen a good china turbo but have got them so cheap that a good turbo can be made from them.

PER4MANZ Turbos fits T60-1 ITS comp wheels and then balances the hole thing leaving you with a resonable 600hp turbo for around $1200 total but with TO4Zs etc for around $1900-2000 these days find the extra.TIAL gates are now quite cheap so lookout for them.

[daveR32gtr]

where abouts can u get these cheap t04z's for around $1900?? along with cheap tial gates?

thanx all for replys 2
