Assuming it fits correctly, it is worth around a $1k. I paid $1600 for the exhaust piping, intercooler piping, and turbo.

You can tell the turbo is new, the exhaust housing looks perfect.

Only the front bank spools the turbo? That seems kinda gay, is that how all kits are?

I like the design. None of the pipes hang down below where the stock exhaust sits.

All I was getting at was a log or something could destroy an expensive turbo, instead of just exhaust pipes which are cheap.

That is pretty cheap for the turbo and the pipes. A turbo itself is really expensive and piping is pretty pricy too if you want it like that. Wonder what the cons are on that thing. The pros are you can get a turbo for cheap and the piping all setup.

Cons...buying a turbo kit with no warranty on fitment from a guy who claims to be putting a 300zxtt engine in his car instead of this. Definately the risk of the pipes not fitting.

Great item on ebay. Surely he should know the TT engine in the Max is a lost cause. . . wonder if he's on the org

This would be interesting to purchase and install, but this would probably be more problematic and less reliable than a 3.5 swap.


Might try to bid and win this.

It's an internally gated turbo, not really the best
