For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

    Cheap Turbo kit?

    Has anyone tried the turbo kit that is on Ebay? Comes with everthing apparently. It's pretty cheap, I know cheap isnt best, but wanted to see if anyone has used it and their opinions.

    cheap and turbo in the same sentence don't go too well, i don't think people have used, maybe parts of the kit, but no the full kit, maybe some else can chime in on this

      If you go turbo I recommend you spend the money and do it right instead of cheaping out.

            The only "cheap" turbo kit I might consider buying would be the Treadstone kit. I have been wondering what those kits are like. Anyone have any info on those kits?

              If you like to create threads that have been discussed and tested by others but refuse to search for the answer click here.

              BTW that was found in the Forced Induction Sticky.

                My buddy decided he was going to go the cheapest route to building a monster turbo car and went with SS autochrome... I would never recommend ss autochrome to anyone but untuned my buddy went 11.9 @ 117 mph in his civic. ebay turbos work... for how long is yet to be determined.

                  ive seen some of the ebay turbo kits the turbo looks like shit. i think it was an xs power or something like that ive heard bad things about that company. i would just spend the money and build the kit yourself. look in the sale thread ive seen lots of turbo parts/kits go for decent price.
