Default Apexi IHI RX6 Turbo

On apexi's site it says that this is a uneversal turbo. Could i use it on a 2000 tib 2.0 or no?
Is this the complete kit. It's used but if it is complete then it's about $1700 off.
Ebay Aution
Scroll Down. The very last one is where it says that it's universal

That's only the turbocharger. I guess the reason it costs so much is because its a ball bearing turbo, which isn't cheap, and its coming with the name Apexi. It isn't a kit, jst the charger.

UFB, is the kit you are offering a ball bearing turbo? And can you email me all the detail, at least all you have.

The RX6 is a general turbo... much like a Garrett T04 series. It comes in all sizes. The one for sale is sized for a turbo RX-7.... the turbine portion is TOO big for a 2.0 L engine. In fact it is the same turbo I use in my RX-7.
But APEXi does make a couple of RX6's sized for a 2.0 L Silvias. The larger of the two is what is used in the Carex turbo Tiburon.. the fastest tiburon in the world... It makes around 600 front wheel hp.
Yes it is a FULL ball bearing unit, less lag thats why the Carex car is faster than similar tibbys and accents with similar peak power... fatter torque curve and less lag.

UFB isn't offering a turbo: he's offering a turbo kit. The turbo Cheuk mentionned would certainly be better than the one in either of the kits offered by UFB, but it's a ball-bearing one. It's gonna be alot more pricey than a standard T3 or T3/04 hybrid.
