turbo kit on ebay??
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120562752036...S:1123&vxp=mtr
has anyone ever seen or used this kit before? it looks like a fairly nice setup. i emailed the seller and it supposedly comes with "ecu/ fuel solution" what ever that means. no very specific.
it looks like it may be a nightmare to install, and he didnt say wether or not it needed or had oil pump and what nots.
the seller said it was a cpmplete and total bolt on kit, and i kinda like the placement, but if it doesnt come with oil and water hook ups/ pumps/lines, whatever, it could be an extra tricky install do to the lower placement.
if it is a complete kit then it seems like a totally reasonable price for a turbo kit that has a garret ball bearing turbo

so is this a well made set up?
this is the first time ive seen this kind of kit with the charger mounted low.
is this a good price or is it normallly what they run?
also i guess if anyone knows... does it need a oil scavenger pump? im just curious because if i have around 4 grand to spend on a turbo or super charger kit and im looking for as complete and total kit as possible im wondering if this would be a viable avenue.
on a side note.. i have a 2005 350z (base) and have about 4k to spend on some forced induction and im not really finding anything that doesnt require some piecing together. i know most kits are just a bit more like in the 5 to 7 k range but i was hoping to find a complete used kit or something like a vortech kit i could score, but it seems like people scoop them up right before i get to them.

well its a soft limit
and your right that the seller seems a little shifty, especially since i asked alot of specific questions and got 2 or 3 vague answers
i could stretch to 5k for the right stuff but i havent seen anything impress me.
the turbonetics kit is supposed to be a nice 5k complete bolt on kit, but i have read bad reviews regarding the fitment and installation issues.
my car has 65k miles. bone stock except for light flywheel and z1 performance clutch - believe its basically a stage 2.
the stillen sc kit is within my price range, but since i do mostly highway driving i have heard it isnt the best mod to get since it makes mostly low end to mid range torque gains, and not that much gain at that.
i have considered just doing some mild bolt ons like the kinetix intake and full exhaust but i dont think i would be all that impressed with those either because i have never been overwhelmed by those kinds of simple mods in the past. and in the end i would just be spending money i could have used for something else.
i plan on upgrading the exhaust but not until i nail down what kind of FI i can get. there is no use spending money on parts that dont work well together.
also as far as the stillen sc kit goes - i have read that its better to keep you stock exhaust, but then others say that its better to upgrade, any one have the real skinny??

I would go with the boosted performance kit, you can get the kit with injectors and fuel pump for 5k, and than you can buy my Utec with tuner for 600 and you will have a complete kit

if you buy a kit sold used off of this forum, you can search the sellers posts and see the history of the car, the questions he asked, if he raced the car, blew anything up etc.. FAR safer than ebay.
