| I saw this and it intrigued me cuz it was only 900 dollars or so. What do you guys think would it be worth it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/jdm-07-08-SCION-XB-T3-46AR-TURBO-TURBOCHARGER-KIT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQihZ015QQitemZ250213427351QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW |

it is just a chinese made knock off turbocharger and intercooler with some universal piping and couplers, and an exhaust manifold.
it is in other words, crap. but if you want to pay 900 dollars for parts that will imediately ruin your engine and void your warranty, go ahead.
1. you get what you paid for,
2. be extremely careful when buying stuff off ebay. |

| Cheaping out on a turbo setup and getting some ghetto ebay setup is about the dumbest thing any car owner can do short of driving their car into a brick wall at 100MPH. |
