Default need turbo kit help, info.

I want to turbo my single cam, and I want to know if a $800 turbo kits on e-bay is garbage or if they are o.k. to buy. I want to boost and I want to know if 1,000 is a realistic budget for a turbo kit or if I need to dig into the bank more? Also I want to know what cost should I prepare for besides injectors, tunning and installation on the kit. I want to do it the right time once and I need any helpful advice on what to buy. And if you would buy an e-bay turbo kit. And I go to ODU and new to the area and I want to know where the boys hang?Let me know some info.

Which turbo kit on ebay? There are tons in there. Stay away from SSautocrome, OBX, XSpower, Spark, Stone Mountain stuff. Their intercoolers are okay but even their piping dont fit for shit. Like you said, you want to do this right the first time.... so, get a decent fuel management.... Hondata, Crome, Uberdata.... and yes, dig deeper in the pocket, even if you just want to turbo your stock motor.

+1. The turbos and manis are super crap. The intercooler kits are "OK" but i had to do some major mods to the pipeing and take many trips to Home Depot for some PVC elbows. Just shop around, especialy on here. Just be patient and you will find good shit for a good price.
