rebuilt turbo.... Options

[hashmaster52]

is there anything wrong with buying a rebuilt turbo?

[Bitter]

it looks like a decent log manifold, but i dont like how EVERYTHING was spraypainted silver it looks weird.

ask who rebuilt the turbo, theres only a handful of companies that rebuild turbos.

also, i may be wrong, but that turbo's hotside sounds a little small for the 7afe? you'll need much more than just the turbo to get it all working correctly. you'll need....
bigger injectors
larger fuel pump
fuel managment
ignition control
intake piping
blow off valve
exhaust
downpipe
and probably a few other bits and peices im forgetting, the TOTAL cost will be about $800-1500 additional to the cost of that little kit.
