You can still find some selling on ebay but I don't trust ebay with turbos or superchargers. It might be a dupe so not everything is exactly the same. If you want a glance, here is the link.

Also from experience, my friend bought full turbo kit for his Honda Prelude on eBay for $500.00. We installed it and not even 20min later, the turbine blew up. I guess not enough oil while it was heating up? I don't know but the whole turbine was destroyed and literally blew up with a "Pow!" sound and smokes here and there.

I think that's a bit optimistic on the hp numbers there. But it's still not a bad idea. I think it's good for the 5sfe, because it's at least a big motor. I think a 4age head swap is the best thing for a 7afe.

I was thinking that... but then I wouldn't have the lovely low-end torque anymore. tongue.gif

Yeah, the price is ridiculous. $4,000 is just about right for a st205 clip.
