I like to think of my self as honest but for a duff old turbo, scrap yard intercooler, very cheap oil cooler, tin of black paint and a tad of shoddy welding and you can make over 600% profit. Yes i did say 600%. Its very tempting to sell shit like this. Who on earth pays for junk like this?

But if people buy eBay 20bhp Chips and Electric Superchargers then Im sure there is a clueless Saxo owner out there somewhere who will snap that up!

I cant see a problem with it!

Turbos are basic bits of equipment. Maybe its used and abused but thats ebay.

Of course that kit isnt going to last as long or run as well as professionally fitted kits but it will work. I know alot of people who have turbo'd their cars from scrap yard parts and are still going strong and pushing 250bhp+.

Technically its a fan driven by exhaust gases which needs a bit of oil to run efficiently....i cant blame the guy for selling the kit, you could get that turbo recon'd and it'd be good as new.

but the turbo will soon break after a recon as it isnt going to sit straight when bolted on that manifold will be starved of oil at one end

To me, I hardly think its fair to even call it a Kit ;)

But like I said Im sure somebody has bought it and will probally regret it - Oh well another Saxo off the road.

because that isnt a complete turbo kit. its just the odd bit slapped together so someone that knows jack shit will think thats all you need. manifold is a heap of shit aswell.

why do you wish you'd bought it? you could buy what is in there for under £200. no way would it cost 3k liike he was saying, even in turbo and IC were new.

Hmmm, tell you what I can sell you the same for £100 less. Tell you what i will even up it to a brand NEW Garrett GT25 turbo if you like.

What do you say to that?
