Single turbo kit on Ebay

Ha anyone bought their turbo kit off of Ebay? Sometimes there are great deals on there on brand new kits. I wonder if I can trust them. They seem to have good feedback ratings but you never know. There is a T88 kit on there now for $2200.

I actually called that guy. He told me he has 8 kits in stock and will let everyone of the T88 kits go for 2200.

Something isn't right or they are stolen.

I can say that price is $1000 below distributer cost. They are either stolen or he is full of it. Have him send pics of the kit.

I'm still thinking about getting a kit from him. The only way it could be a good deal is if the guy got some kind of a bulk deal straight from Japan. His reviews on Ebay are all pretty good but I'm sure there's a way to falsify those. I'm also concern that the waste gate and the down pipe is of bad quality. Please let me know the outcome of your purchase. Thanks!

Yea let us know how it goes.
I see that many of his auctions have reserves on them that have not been met. Curious to see how high those kits get to.
I didnt see the T-88 for the RX-7 on there.

If you look at his previous auction feedbacks they are all for items in the 10 - 110 range. 2 auctions were for turbo kits (most recents) in which those users one of them having their first feedback from him the 2nd one having 2 feedback and 2 from him (from the auction)

Maybe he's just starting out.. all I know is I got ripped for a GReddy turbo kit off of Ebay and have yet to see the money (over a year later) even with the FBI investigating the case.

Lets think positively here though... In hopes that it works out for him.

Ebay is filled full of both legit and sheisty people.. lets hope for him it's a legit operation.

Well, I bought the HKS T51R kit from them as well for $3,500.00. Now I'm wondering if I'm being scammed.

I bought the T04R from them. I'm probably going to stop payment on it until I get some more verification from the seller. Kinda sketchy...

Everybody, please keep us all informed. If in fact it is a good deal, everybody please don't buy it all up!

I sent them an email asking if I could pick up the T51R kit in person. Haven't gotten a reply back yet.
