why are turbo kits on ebay so cheap?
i have a 2000 jetta vr6 and i wanna turbo it baddd. me and my stepdad know a great mechanic who does all audi/volkswagen/porche installations and hes doing the manual very cheap. i dont mind spending like 3 grand for a good stage 2 or 3 turbo, but i found a link to ebay and they are rediculously cheap and sound very promising (here is one) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-1999-2000-2001-2002-VW-JETTA-GLX-VR6-TURBO-KIT-11P-/170461130694?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27b0466fc6
can anyone tell me if this thing is legit? because if so itll save me a pretty penny.
Those kits are generally useless because either the manifold will eventually crack or the turbo will blow and send bits into your oil. I have known a few setups that run that ebay turbo for no more than a few months before it gets shredded to bits. Not exactly top quality to say the least.
FIrst off preparing your car for a turbo doesn’t involve putting a SICK AZZ kit on it from ebay. THe motor has to be prepped for low compression including new pistons, headgaskets, bearings at the least. Fuel flow must be measured and most likely a new strong race pump is going to be needed along with fuel injectors.
A kit that you piece together properly yourself would be of much better quality. That turbo kit on ebay is only good for the clamps and general pieces other than the turbo and manifold itself.
You get what you pay for when it comes to performance.
