as RBYCC has pointed out. No kit just bolts right up without extra fabrication/parts = labour & $$$. tbomachines also answered the main reason you would never use an EBay turbo kit for anything. Chinese crap turbos will last minimal km's than blow up & also you risk the crap thing busting your engine due to heat/reliabilty probs galore!

Stay away form them. Also on this note. Be careful about too cheap Garrett turbos for sale on EBay. While it's true certain Garrett comp housings do not necessarily have Garrett written in letters anymore. Some claim to be genuine Garrett turbos when in reality they are just using the Garrett cores & have inferior guts. Cheap wheels/bearings etc. Be careful where you buy your turbo. If you can afford to. Get a new one from a reputable reseller. If it's so cheap that usually indicates the quality. Unless you approach a reliable workshop that has a supplier you can trust then, sometimes you can score a good deal

Cheers,
Tim
