What would YOU pay for a 12a turbo kit?

I found a guy that has a kit to turbo a 12a. He says it's a cartech kit but I have no way to verify this.

It comes with the Rayjay turbo (to4???), wastegate, intake manifold and pipeing, exhaust manifold and oil return line.

The turbo needs to be rebuilt. I would assume the wastegate needs to be rebuilt as well. this kit hasn't been used in quite a while.


Anyone have any Idea what it's worth?

I'm not sure if I'm going to get it or not.

Mike

I would buy a kit from robert at rotaryshack, personally. You will get top quality product, and custom made parts such as manifold and intake.

It would cost a bit more, but it would be done right, from the start.

Those old Ray-jay kits were BAE systems. Draw-through, and no intercooling.

60's technology at it's best.

Try to take a pic of it and I'll let you know if it's Cartech. If it is, they have very good kits.

Cartech kits are awesome.
Ray-Jay, Super "b" kits - suck.
