LOL $750 for the entire kit. Rofl, that entire kit costs less than a Garrett GT3076 ball bearing turbo. Hahahahahha, that turbo must be made out of plastic.

its just another ebay kit...the intercooler pipes would need to be cut and fitted and most likely doesnt have enough couplers to do that with. the turbo is just a cheap china charger and may not last. it doesnt come with engine managment or injectors nore a down pipe. wastegate is another cheap item that will prolly leak and will be inconsistant boost wise. your looking at spending atleast 2g's in making this work and be reliable.

your old turbo didnt have an E housing it was a B..atleast i remember you had a simple kit, if so then yeah it had a B housing. I got my turbo from the same co. that supplied Todd, thats how i got the true specs on it and found out the flow.

Let me put a little more emphasis on my comment.

"W/e it was, it lasted and made decent power lol."

How many times have you had to remove your turbo? If it's anything more than 0, you're doing it wrong.

I bet you've spent more money replacing/repairing/rebuilding crappy parts, than it would have cost to just buy a full PTuning kit with their full 3" exhaust.

all i can say is im a hard core Garrett fan, my old turbo is now being placed on the third tc of its life and has lasted for over 2 years without having to be rebuilt. Iv seen turbonetics (not saying all but iv seen some) that didnt last that long. as a matter of fact i havnt seen one out of the three turbonetics turbos last that long (two oil cooled and one ball bearing wet center).

I wasnt trying to affend you, just thought it was kinda funny.
