ebay single turbo kits?
whats the general consensus on these kits? Anyone have one installed? I just always assume everything from ebay fits like crap and is made from shady materials.
heres a link to one of the kits: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GT45-19PC-T4-TURBO-KIT-TURBOCHARGER-MANIFOLD-INTERCOOLER-92-98-MAZDA-RX-7-RX7-FD-/350856907328?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ARX-7&hash=item51b0b38a40&vxp=mtr
I tried searching around for any info on it...does anyone else feel like the search feature on this site is almost useless? Every time I search something, I get a list of 20+ page build threads...not real helpful.

You pretty well summed it up in your first sentence.
You get what you pay for...800 dollars of pure Garbage..
Save your money and piece a decent turbo system together or get a kit from A-Spec or other guys that sell a whole system.That way you know that everything is meant for your car and it will go on and perform with not Problems.
Honestly I got a 500 dollar car,that I put a TII engine in.
The ECU alone is worth 5 X what the car is worth!..
the Turbo is worth 2x what the car is worth.
Mind you I pieced it together But all parts were meant for the car.I had little fabbing to do.(exhaust flange was off angled,downpipe was a bit too long..wooopeee!)
You ever See a 500 dollar car smoke a Mustang?...(mine will!)

I'd looove to hear the horror stories of anyone who has ever attempted to install one of these...I remember when I was 15 and bought a car audio "sound system" off of ebay. Oh man what a waste of money, to this day I've not heard a system that sounded or performed worse. A valuable lesson was learned that day haha
