Talking eBAY Turbo kits

I have seen turbo kits on ebay for around $730 shipped. It includes manifold, wastegate, BOV, T4 turbo and all gaskets and bolts. You would only need to create your own piping (read: easy). Does anyone have any experience with these kits?

Someone told me the components in the turbo are cheap though the ad says garrett internals? Even if it was, its still an HKS manifold, and setup for a T4 so if your turbo did take a **** 2 years down the road you could just plop on another T4 correct?

Max boost to run on N/A and do you need an FMU and/or bigger injectors?

What rate do NA injectors flow vs TII injectors and what out there is bigger?

Thanks in advance... just bought my second FC, this one runs but I am ready to make it RUN!

If those kits are the SSAutoChrome kits, we've covered this before. Search for details, but long story short, they are crap.

As for your other questions, read the FAQ.

Post a link or everyone will assume (and Im guessing this too) that its a SSAutoChrome kit. And what TII "87 said, SSAuto claims "HKS Style Manifold". SSAuto, Stone Racing, XS POWER,etc is all CRAP PARTS. This has been disscussed NUMEROUS TIMES and the thread should be closed. SEARCH

you really cant just ask what the max boost on an NA is there really is no max assuming you have all the supporting mods including drivetrain, igniton, and fuel and deffenityl a stand alone to control it al if you run more boost than the AFM can read on an NA, i forget what exactly the stock AFM maxs out at but unless you get a standalone and spend alot of money to support big boost there really isn't a need for anything more than the stock rx7 turbo and manifold, but i don't know why i'm even responding since this is probably the most commonly asked question on the forum if you search you will find all the info you need and read the faq too.
