Seems really cheap. Is this a good turbo for a stock d16a6?
Do you guys see any problems with this kit? (besides the less than perfect seller rating)

The guy's seller rating really isn't that bad...with that amount of sales, you're going to have a few people who are NEVER pleased, or leave negative feedback for something small that was resolved or could have been resolved before leaving it, etc. 98%+ is pretty good, in my book...less than 2% left a negative, and you've gotta figure at least some of them were about something dumb.

I like how the "B16 manifold" (for a D-series kit, of course) says "keep AC and steering wheel". Good to know you can keep your steering wheel with that manifold. I'm gonna assume they meant power steering, which of course doesn't apply to us anyway.

it all looks good i am a little concerned though with the mispellings in the ad and the fact that i says b and not d for the manifold. . .. .who knows what will arrive..

Aside from the grammatical mistakes I'd say $700 minus shipping is a great price compaired to some DIY kits that are out there.
Wish I'd have seen that when I was doing my turbo build.
I spent somewhere near $800 to 1K for my diy. :shock:
Looks right on with that kinda price.

Thats what I was thinking, Ollie. A greddy kit is like $1400 - without an intercooler. And this is a better turbo (according to my limited knowledge of turbos). Although it could be a cheap rebuild or no rebuild at all, just a cleaned turbo. I would seriously consider this kit if I was in the maket.

STAY AWAY !!

Read the whole thing. The turbo is not a true Garrett. If you look at the GLUED ON RED TAG, it says turbo is TD04 part number T3/T4... Tunign Turbo cars almost everyday, I can tell you that this turbo has very good chances to be a made in china replica style of garrett that will not last long..

What about the charge pipes? Think they are any good? Really cheap it you buy them alone!

Well as the rule goes... Fast,Cheap, Reliable. Pick two.

I will say as above, the kit could be good for parts. Might wanna replace the turbo if its really that bad.
