twin turbo kit for 1000 bucks?????

i was just wondering if anyone has used this kit or if its even worth it i found people who say its a POS but others saying they used turbo GT3076S turbos on their beamers and it was great???

Could be advertising.. the way it is written. In any case, it's insulting to us when someone comes in here and wants us to do 100% of the research work for them. If you aren't even smart enough to search for some basic info yourself, you damn sure aren't going to make a turbo spin up on one of these cars.

advertising or not, I came into this forum to look for the same thing.

I see them selling on ebay for $1000-1200. Seems way cheap.

the ebay seller has great feedback with some kits not being a direct bolt on.

any thoughts?

Re: twin turbo kit for 1000 bucks?????

I've had excellent luck with Ebay turbo stuff. My turbo, BOV and intercooler are all Ebay stuff. Well technically the intercooler I got didn't come from Ebay but it's the same one found on Ebay. As long as you're prepared to deal with some modification and fabrication, these kits can offer a good value as far as I'm concerned. Just don't expect a bolt-on affair.

This is all I'm going to say, as it's been covered on this forum by at least 100 previous posts just like these.

it's cool, I just ran across it during a search while killing time.

I'm not at the point to even start researching more about this stuff, just was curious as it seemed like a heck of a deal

There is one of these kits posted in the classifieds right now.. I think it's slightly used but he wants around $700 for it in case you might want to speed up the process
