save the cash and the headache and do it right after you graduate.

what's the point of being able to say "i have a turbo car" when you're running a couple of pounds through a garbage ebay system that will probably run like shit anyways? save your cash/time/sweat for when you have a better car and better funding to do it correctly.

do it right, do it once. do it wrong, do it twice.

you seem new to tuning cars, ebay kits are crap unless you buy a new turbo and manifold right away and sell the new ebay turbo and mani actually the wastegates will leak and the bov suck too so nvm dont even waste your money just hook a 100 shot tune your air/fuel ratios, and then get a easy car to mod 1g eclipse could be a good starter turbo car

well it comes with everything but a wideband o2 sensor (i believe) i was going to change the the turbo from the crap one to a better one about 2 weeks after purchase. or until i get paid before install. so basically screw it?
