$575 is dirt fricken cheap for a turbo setup. You cannot even buy a decent new turbo for that (see, most people who build kits dont just buy random $80 turbo's without knowing the trim/maps on them).

I dont see how anyone could build one that cheap, honestly if I had a VG I would buy it in an instant... well actually it would be nice to see Sarin install it but anyway.


talk is cheap. You've been talking about turboing your car for months, Sarin is selling all the stuff needed to actually do it, for an excellent price at that.

That was basicly what I was getting at. Also, how much of the kit is used, what did the turbo come off of, and is the setup proven to work (i.e. do you have pictures), or does it need a significant amount of modification. I can sell the whole setup off of a z31 t as well, but will it work well with our cars? I think that it will require too much fabbing. Show me the kit on a 89+vg30e.

Read your own words. 80 for any turbo in excellent shape is a great deal. There are high quality holset turbos out there for the 150 range, not new, but used, and if need, you can get one cheaper, and rebuild.

The diff is, this setup was actually on the car and running. Then taken off. Not just a bunch of cobbled together parts that still need to be fabricated and whatnot. Big difference. But a difference 99% of people don't really understand until they are knee deep into the project.

but if I have a turbo, some pipes, and a BOV I'll be good to go right?
