I was just wondering if anyone has had experience with this "kit". I know, it's an ebay kit, but I just wanted to throw it out there if anyone has had experience with it.

Don't do it. A bunch of parts that would not fit or work well and need lot of modification And customizing so don't do it!

ok. not the kind of response I was looking for. Just sayin'. I was looking at one of the 5sfte posts and saw someone that was running an ebay turbo with their setup and was making decent power. I know this stuff is cheap. Guess I shoulda never asked.

I'll most likely prove them right. Don't have the cash flow for something nice, so I'll have to part a setup together whenever I find cheap parts I guess.

If your talking about supershannon77s build, yes the turbo was an eBay unit, along with the adapter, but everything around it was quality parts.

Neon if spools slow because you running a GT45 on a stock setup, not cuz its a chinese turbo. i know a few guys run them over here in okinawa. just buy a good seal kit and replace them and they are G2G.

no I have a Kkr 480 which is roughly the size of a gt30 and face it the GTX spools way faster, technology is expensive but proves its point. I know my chinese turbo wont spool like mikes disco potatoe, but it sure as hell spools once it gets going
