Default Ebay Parts?

So yeah, I've heard about people buying stuff off Ebay for their cars, and saving alot of money. Is it really that easy? For example, I'm trying to build a turbo kit for my CRX, and I looked for an Intercool, Piping, and a BOV up there, and found a kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Civic...00330198QQrdZ1

I've heard that this stuff is ok, and others say that it's shit

Anyone on here bought anything like this?

So, the IC and Piping are actually good? Ok, thanks guys...Now, the BOV sucks...(Yes, I knew it was a knock off)...Is because it's just bad, or something that you can fix easily? I'm just curious now..lol

Just make sure its for the car your looking for and most important..MAKE SURE they have good feedback! I have been dealing on ebay for years..never had a problem because i only deal with people with 100% feedback..or if they got a neg. read it to see what it was because sumtimes they dont deserve it. jus do alil homework and yull be ok

most of the people post positive feedback as soon as they receive it and its on time and not broken, so for something like turbos it wouldnt be appropriate. look for a greddy kit or try to piece together your own kit using sites such as turbod16.com and homemadeturbo.com for info.
