Now, i have no inclination of Turbocharging my VTS, But i found this whilst browsing for Saxo parts just now
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Citroen-Saxo-T3T4-TurboCharger-Turbo-Kit-/350439107642?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5197cc6c3a#ht_4875wt_934
Almost Full Turbo kit, for Under 400 quid from the USA. What do you guys think? Is it legitimate? Or just a load of crap?
Claims they can be set up for low boost 6-8psi adding gains of 50-100bhp.. Tempting i know.
Just to make this clear, im not advertising this, Just found it browsing Ebay lol.

No information given as to What parts are included. Its far far too cheap and the description about it seems very generic. I would not be sending them my money lol

Ebay and turbo kits like that don't go together well.

its far far from an "almost full" kit, need to sort out fueling and compression yet, which is a massive part of a turbo build.

Ebay and most things don't go together well :)
Buy cheap = buy twice

There are quite a few threads on the same kit. A few of the issue with it are it is missing more parts then it includes. Another issue is the turbo included is of extremely poor quality and even if it was of usable quality it as far to large to be of much use. I would suspect even the other parts are just as bad. You also have to pay sizeable postage and import tax on this. So works out incredibly expensive for what it is.

you could scrub up a decent turbo build yourself for that money+, with 2nd hand parts and lookin for the bargains, and that would be 10 times more reliable and actually work compared to that kit.
