Cheap Turbo kit

[tjl006]

I have a feeling this kit is not a direct bolt on http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercury-Marauder-T3T4-Turbo-Charger-Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZ p3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3ef 5cbe066QQitemZ270411751526QQpt ZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ 5fAccessories.
What do you guys think? the end of trilogy and reinhart;)

WTF lol are they serious

[MERCMAN]

And look, it comes with a roll of TP cause the boost will scare the poop out of you!!! :rofl:

[ImpalaSlayer]

ehhh where are the headers?

[Glenn]

NO Way - polished tubes and Turbo for under $1,000. This is a universal kit. NO way will it fit a MM without a tremendous amount of work. Stay away - far way.

(1) Hybrid Turbo Charger........For a Honda..........

"May necessitate light modification to fit"

That might be the understatement of the week........

It also says:

"The install is simple and most customers install it themselves in a weekend."

I'm not so sure about that...

I'm pretty sure those are the kits that the parts are made in China. The turbos are crap and fitment may be a bit of an issue, but not as much of a problem as the overall quality of the kit.

Wait these arnt bolt on? Aww crap, i better cancel my bid! :rolleyes:

Headers, fuel pump, injectors and blow thru MAS will be needed also. Another $2000 worth of parts.

Then the labor to custom fit everything if you can't weld and ****.

Plus tuning.

Fail.

[SC Cheesehead]

Uhhhhh, yeah. Right.....;)

Selling just the Turbo and intercooler for under $1,000 would be one 'heckuva' deal!
I'm confident that based on the kit's price a set of custom headers would be @ $275.

Actually, I find this quite tempting.

Thank you. Exactly what I was thinking.

If it doesn't make the 485 rwhp at 9-10 psi or less, the system is a piece of crap. If it was a quality turbo and intercooler for 1000 bucks, that is a deal. Finding someone to route/fab the hot piping for you, good luck. And you do not need a blow thru.

[justbob]

Honestly, if I hadn't allready bought the Trilogy then I would have allready bought this. Atleast to try it. I love fabbing and don't mind down time. A good tune would definately be in order, but I think for this price you could afford a couple breakdowns and still come out way on top. Not to mention I'm sure there is better stronger rebuild parts available for when that happens. For the price its worth a try. I was actually quite tempted to remove the Trilogy and fiddle around with this and be the first ginnie, but I just had an expensive driveway laid today and now spending more money is about the last thing on my mind.

What a pile o' ****

[RacerX]

This kit and a little duct tape... You could get rid of the Pringles can! :D

[CKMustangCobra]

also that turbo is WAY too small for a single setup on our engines. That is an OK size for a Honda 4 cylinder. Our motors would need two of those and probably still max out.

That is what I was thinking.
Turbos are NOT 'one size fits all' products.

What size turbo is it?
What is the A/R ratio?
What does the compressor map look like?
Do the bearings have a coolant jacket?...just oil cooled?
