What motor are you putting it on and how many pounds of boost do you wnat to run?

Looks like someone copied a kit I was putting together or copied everything under my hood expect the RRFPR and Turbo. That turbo should spool a little sooner then mine which is good since I don't spool to till 3,000rpm. It is missing one hose to convert the turbo outlet from 2" to 2.5" for your piping. I don't know the turbo brand but if you are smart you would take any turbo from EBay apart and loctite all bolts while you align it for your application.

Year, make of car and motor it's going on with expected boost please?

be ready for a lot of custom work. headache. and downtime i got my car back yesterday after 4 weeks. A professional shop had issues doing it. Allot of of it was laziness on their part. but you will run into problems with that kit. John is the only person i have ever come in contact with, who knows the proper way around each problem. ur at a bit of an advantage because you are able to verbatim copy his install. good luck bud.

looks to be a fairly complete kit of components, only real problem is that they are ebay components and ebay quality.

i've been building kits for years now and seen pretty shoddy performance from ebay kits in general. most dangerous to the engine is the wastegate (44mm is way overkill for your application BTW) the ebay wastegate valve tends to stick when it gets hot and wouldnt open till 14+psi when it was forced open by sheer boost pressure, regardless of what ever spring pressure you were shooting for.. usually 5-8 psi on most stock bottom end cars. the increased boost spike will cause all sorts of problem for you on a stock engine stock fueled car that is only tuned to 8 psi....

the turbos are hit and miss, while the sizing is okay, the chinese made components are scary. my advice, do it right.. buy a garrett turbo at least, and a tial 38mm genuine wastegate. it will cost maybe $700.00 new for both, or much less than that for a slightly used deal and you will save a LOT of headache.

when i just re-did the setup on my Lexus i picked up the turbo i always wanted on SupraForums for $500.00 shipped, and the 44mm Tial wastegate for $275.00 shipped.. saving almost $500.00 overall..now my parts are bigger for the Supra 2jzgte engine, but you get the point.

Turbos are fun.. when they are done right, but getting there reliably can piss you off..trust me.

+1 on the turbos are fun think projekt. i took my friends audi a4 for a lil "test drive" last night i got pulled over with in 30 seconds of leaving the house. it wasnt anything major cop just saw me going about 60 in 45 and let me go after seeing i wasnt drunk... i was geting sooooo boost happy tho it just makes me that much closer to wanting a turbo on my ti.

the vw/audi almost has boost off idle it seems.. very easy to get boost happy there.

pretty impresive hanging with a chipped 335i, those things will be the next Supra in power capability.. same design, I-6 twin turbo too..

lol i dont want to mislead u guys he wasnt going balls out but we could never roll together before unless he was in neutral lol but yeah that night i also didnt have a boost guage or controller on so i was only half throttle and made it up to 120 real quick lol. Im significantly slower now that i threw on the boost controller and put it on min setting
