Nope, this is the same BAE kit that I had awhile back. It's mostly garbage... it would be MUCH cheaper to track down a 12AT than to try to get these blowthru's to do anything but fry your engine.

I'm confused now. These are blowthrus? are the ones that pressurize air/gas within the turbo blowthrus or flowthrus? or is there another name ?

either way yeap I was wondering too because it looks like it pressurizes the air/gas and goes thru the turbo which is not "as" reliable as the regular settups.

Wouldn't it be easier just to jet a carb, use a boost sensing fuel sys. and fit a bonnet and run a TII turbo, than the system shown?

The BAE turbo kit for sale on ebay originaly included: A Rajay turbo, A Blowoff valve, An exhaust manifold, an "under carb" adapter, all the hoses, pipes and clamps, a "Lynx" air cleaner, an extended oil metering pump rod, a harder secondaries spring and some gaskets.

As you can tell, the kit in the pic is less than complete, but it's salvageable. The problem is, THIS KIT SUCKS! First of all, it was designed to be used on SA's not FB's, so fitement on 81-85 12A's is a real pain. Appart from that, all the components in the kit are real garbage and is FAR from bolt-on, so forget about ever getting it to work right.

The kit was designed to feed compressed air directly into the engine by bypassing the carb. This is accomplised by the use of the under carb adapter (probably the only part of the kit that is valuable). By what I can see in that pic, the kit he's selling comes with a holley carb.

I dunno... I'd buy what's there for 100$. Any more than that, and someone's getting ripped off.
