Default Dirt Cheap Twin Turbo???

Does anyone know what the catch is on this deal? This guy is selling a Twin Turbo kit on eBay for $1k shipped. It seems too good to be true.

its not a kit, its a a bunch of pieces of random pipes in a box, paired off with a chinese turbo that will last 500 miles. You'll spend 2000$ getting it installed and fabricated

Default Would never do it!

I was just wondering what the deal was with the "kit." I am of the belief that if you are going to do something do it right or don't do it at all.

Ebay turbo kits FTW

I wonder why they never show pictures of the Ebay turbo kits installed maybe because they don't fit

I'm just going to go out and say you get what you pay for. There is a reason us Sponsors/Vendors charge the prices we do and that is to offer a quality finished product to the customer. Cutting corners always ends up costing more in the end.

Chinese turbo? I didn't know they made cheap turbos. A lot of those kits if not all kits have random pick and pull turbos,The person piecing the kit together goes to the local pick and pull yards and find cars like VW/Audis Old starion/conquest.
