^^ Look at the direction the output of the turbo faces. It has to make a U to turn downwards and go to the intercooler.

There's not enough bends there to make all the turns required.

 

You can clock the turbo DTN, you can make it face whatever you want.

 

I didn't realize that alex.


Shouldn't there be two more pipe clamps too?

 

Yah i figured lol, its because you havent done it before.

Probably need even more pipe clamps than that, as this isn't a custom bolt on charge pipe kit, cutting and coupling together a charge pipe kit will leave you with a lot more connections.

 

^^ I was talking about hose clamps for the smaller vacuum lines. there's 2 provided and 4 vacuum fittings which you cannot use the stock hoses for

 

Pff its a given youll have to spend 30-50 bucks on random fittings, clamps, bolts, etc.

when you install a turbo, trust me, do it during business hours & you need to have access to a car because something always comes up. You WILL make anywhere from 5-15 trips to autozone/advance/pep/harbor during the install.

 

ROFL.. lmao.gif cant believe you didn't know you could clock a turbo..

anyway.. it would be hit or miss. could be a VERY good deal, or potential for alot of headaches..

the ebay piping would work fine.
the manifold is fine.
the BOV would probably be ok. i know a few people with HKS knockoffs with no issues. has flange, piping, snap rings.
intercooler would most likely be ok. its a finned intercooler, and you can get those pretty cheap anyway.
boost controllers can be made pretty simple, so it could be ok.
comes with T BOLT clamps FTWQ!!!!!!!!w00t
comes with most if not all couplers
turbo is cheap chinese, but i have known some people, particularily a guy on rdt, running the most power on a tib, that has an 'ebay' turbo.. so its hit or miss, you can get lucky, or get junk.

yes, its missing some parts, and not a complete kit, but it 'could' have potential to be a very good setup.

 

Very good guys.

My favorite is how the auction digs on stainless manifolds, and says it comes with a cast manifold, when it's an OBX manifold sitting there.

 

you know people will fall for it. it's missing a downpipe and they leave tuning for you but it is $1000 instead of $4,000. but yeah its better to get a good kit that will last, not one you'll have to keep replacing parts for because if good turbo kits go out i can't begin to imagine what happens with this one.
