JDM Turbo Kit!
So, while randomly searching some websites for good prices on a header for my S/C tC, I came across this site and found this...
It made me laugh so hard. I;m thinking to myself, what if someone who doesn't know anything comes across this and buys it. I know it looks like those ebay kits, but I don't know if those kits say "JDM" on them...
Here is the link to the kit. And I will give you a cookie if you read the kits description and find the error about a part they are describing

Guys - JDM could also just be their brand - not really meaning Japanese Domestic Manufacture.
I bet you anything that these parts together work - with the exception of possible early turbo failure.. lol. But if someone were to buy this "kit" and replace the turbo with a known Garrett, Holset, etc equivalent and real fuel management, it would produce your typical numbers like other kits.
Now the fitment may not be wonderful but for someone who is a DIY and has the resources and tools, they could make it work just fine.
I'm in no way applauding this kit.. just being the devil's advocate here.

JDM Sport is the name of the company... And like B Real said... just because it doesn't have a Dezod or TT name on it doesn't mean it's not legit. Yes you are taking a much greater risk with these kits but there are people out there that make this work. Only problem might be the quality of the turbo.
