Be aware when buying from this seller. I purchased his turbo kit. It has many issues that were never mentioned, and some being major. Also missing pieces that I paid for when the kit arrived, so I had to spend time trying to get those parts from this seller... Use caution here!

Im disgusted by this buyer, he purchased this turbo kit from me in perfect working order. The kit worth well over 5k he got for less than half the price I had into it without the rebuild. The kit had the following included:
-exhaust manifold (which he claimed was warped and cracked, when I had it professionally ground and machined flat and tig welded). This was taken directly off the car when I sold it to him.
-custom made 304 stainless tubular intake manifold
-custom made aluminum intercooler piping
-Turbosmart blow off valve
-Turbosmart dual stage boost controller
-Stainless steel downpipe with cat and flex pipe
-Freshly rebuilt Garret GT3071R, used for 50 kms MAXIMUM ($500 + shipping value just on the rebuild)
-MAF sensor
-2.2 L alternator
-2.2 L tensioner
-2.2 L belt
-80 lb injectors
-injector wiring harness
-all associated sensors
-Boost gauge
-all associated turbo oil system parts
-cone filter
-silicone couplers and clamps
-Buyer didnt want the intercooler, but it could have been purchased
My belief is that this guy bought this kit and as he started getting into it found out he was in way over his head with the tuning, rewelding the intercooler piping because he didnt buy mine, and having to buy some hardware, gaskets, and get the car tuned. Doing a turbo swap isnt cheap and you have to be willing to spend a few bucks to get things working.. I dont believe there was anything wrong with this kit, and if I had a built motor I would bolt it right back up to my car and use it.
-Stainless steel downpipe with cat and flex pipe
Hmm I never received that.....????
-exhaust manifold (which he claimed was warped and cracked, when I had it professionally ground and machined flat and tig welded). This was taken directly off the car when I sold it to him.
^^ First I wanna point out that right there shows your inexperience with turbos, and your in ability to understand what the issue is. So ill further explain to you what it is before I continue... Just because you had something machined before you used it doesn't mean a thing. It is now warped and possibly cracked which I will examine and document to you when its removed. It was directly removed from your car where it was warped and sold to me in that same condition. WITHOUT ANY MENTION OF IT!!!.
-custom made 304 stainless tubular intake manifold
^^Looks like a three year old made it, and possibly a blind one at that..
-custom made aluminum intercooler piping
^^had holes in them, flanges were bent or misshaped, with broken nipples... I actually have them all in a pile in my garage.. You want them back??? USELESS!!! I had them all redone the correct way.
-Turbosmart dual stage boost controller (I had forgot to ship this with the kit, this is what he is talking about when he had to spend time getting additional parts, it was shipped as soon as he notified me, I can prove this with PM's and shipment receipts).
^^ I will agree with you one this. Even though I also didn't get the boost gauge(no wiring), bolts, and alternator pigtail until a later date
-all associated sensors
^^Your setup is ****!! You have the ait sensor as well as others at the end of vacuum lines which aren't reading correctly

^^ and that literally made me laugh out loud... Im fully aware of what it takes to do a turbo swap on any vehicle for that matter. This is not my first rodeo. I didn't use your charge pipes, because they were **** as I have already stated.. Your kit was complete **** and had many hidden issues. That is the problem!!!! Funny you mention tuning, because I installed this pile of **** with my tuner which will most likely chime in to tell YOU about what i received and the quality of it.
