I saw this on eBay. Looks crappy to me but tempting none-the-less.

Re: What do you think about this turbo setup?

Here's the deal with the ebay stuff... Most the time the turbos will crap out pretty quickly. You dont get any sort of down pipes or exhaust with that kit so you still have to fabricate that and most likely you wont be able to fit the turbos under the stock hood with those headers. So my advice is to just build your own kit. Its not that hard and you'll be able to put things where you want them and know that they'll fit once its done.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I figured even at a grand it will probably be more money and headache down the road. It's just the price is hard to ignore.

I'd have to grab some turbos first.....then figure out the header cost. Might come out to too much loot.

you can probably snap a pair of GN turbos for pretty cheap, or get a pair of master power turbos for around $500 each.
