Some guy made a custom kit and used an ebay turbo on a g35. a reputable shop actually tuned it too. Said it had a better design than a turbonetics kit. Made good power. But who knows how long that ebay turbo would last.

Why yes sir it is... And hell, since the kit doesn't come with nuts, bolts, brackets, couplers or pipes, I highly doubt it is going to come with that peanut butter and jelly sammich you put in your plastic case for lunch.

This is such a suckers deal.

Truth is you get what you pay for. What to look forward after buying this kit? That SSQ Style bov is going to be bleeding off boost like crazy, good luck getting that thing to stay sealed under WOT. Same thing with the wastegate. Notice how the IC pipes aren't flared at the edges? Blowing IC couplers sucks, and it's gonna happen often with this kit. And of course the heart of the kit. The China made T3/T4. Any monkey with tools can assemble a turbo, and the costs are relatively cheap, but not all monkeys spin them to 100,000 rpm to ensure they are balanced. I bet this baby arrives with shaft play right out of the box.
