alex37211 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have dreams of boost in the future and figured I might start collecting the pieces when I run across a good deal. But I'm really a newb when it comes to FI. What do you guys think about this? http://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/855488292.html http://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/855483494.html And how about this kit? Is it really worth $1500? http://nashville.craigslist.org/pts/852400190.html thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 buy a real brand turbo, intercooler, bov, and wastegate and get the pipes off egay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 thats a no go alex :nono: i would just buy brand name parts here and there and slowly piece together a turbo kit myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 XS Power is pretty much the same as ssautochrome....pretty sure it's even the same company with a different "title" because of the bad rep SSautochrome got. Stay away from that stuff. I've heard stories of badly cracked manifolds to turbo's falling apart/breaking in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 like everyone said, buy name brand turbo. but that kit you posted is precision. ask for some pics. most of the stuff listed there is good stuff. (dsm injectors, tial wastegate, precision turbo...never heard of that intercooler) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Mishimoto is a good intercooler. I've seen them on like cover-page magazine builds where everything else was about as good as it gets. (Hytech, Toda, spoon, etc) I had heard of XS Power but didn't know if it was any good or not. I guess I do now. Thanks. And I haven't heard of Precision turbos before. Also, I don't know if I wanna drop $1500 on a kit just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 out of those i'd go with the kit that was there. precision makes some decent stuff, it's not really a "top of the line" brand but it works. i know a couple guys back home that have run that SC61 for a little while now, it's not bad.
