Something strikes me odd about this auction. He doesn't say a word about the turbo,and the picture is different. It looks like he stole that picture off a website or something and added to auction. Also, I dont know this, but does the kit look complete if turbo was included? For some reason, there are alot of pieces but it doesnt look like its all there.
I also found that his negative feedbacks were from INEXSPENSIVE items, not exspensive items...I checked the last 3 negative feedbacks that he got. 9.99$....interesting...but I dont trust the seller!

This is only the "setup"
The turbo is not mentioned so has to be purchased seperate....
You can tell by the price and low reserve.
I also see some parts I can not place with the setup, example: the plenum... looks like things are missing or mis placed or the set is not complete, I wouldn't buy it if you do not have a same set or are familiar with it.

Gentlemen...
Dont waste your time with this set-up..... is crap!
Do like I did.....
FOR 12A TURBO
Fabricate your own. Believe it or not...Is pretty simple....
To fabricate a Turbo manifold......first, get a 12A exhaust Flange from Racing Beat
also get the gasket.
Second.... go to EBAY.COM and get this 13B Turbo Manifold(93-95 RX7): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33742 ....
Next.... Cut the tip/corners of the 13b flange bolt holes..... place the new 12A flange ON TOP and TIG WELD it..... See this picture:
Finally... get the Turbo and Wastegate.
For the Turbo.... I got a medium size one ( Garrett T4E, .60 compressor, .69 Turbine, P Trim ) I paid about 500 for it.
NOTE: YOU MUST port ( at least ...mild street porting ) your engine.
Total cost (FOR THE TURBO SET-UP) is around $1,000 by doing it yourself.... and over $2,000 if done at a shop.
You will get around 250 horse power at the wheels @ 10 PSI Boost ( with selected Turbo and MILD STREET PORTING)
LIST:
Exhaust Flange
Exhaust Gasket
13B Turbo Manifold
T4 Turbo w bolts, oil line, return line & gaskets
HKS WASTEGATE with gasket
Blow off valve
Intercooler with pipping & silicone hoses
Boost controler ( Turbonetics 10 PSI MAX )
Boost gauge
Heat/exhaust wrap
If carburetor/holley... Turbonetics carburetor cover/hat (blow thru)
If carburetor/holley... use Racing Beat Intake Manifold ( PORTED )
Air Filter ( K&N or Aftermarket )
3 " Downpipe with presilencer & good muffler
a new fuel pump ( should push at least 16 to 25 psi )
and Regulator
Fuel and Air Gauge ( make sure is at least 4 " from turbo on downpipe )
optinal: Turbo timer
GOOD LUCK to anyone trying this...

The bidding ended at $610. I truly think this guy misrepresented the product. The buyer got raped. All he's getting is a wastegate, intake manifold and some pipes!!

Even if I was interested and I had the money, I find it very hard to bid on something so poorly put together. Especially for a sale so expensive. He types all in caps, and only includes two flaky pictures. He doesn't include all the specific information someone would want when buying a setup like this.
I find it flakey.
