I hear ya buddy, but for reliability, I'd buy some quality stuff. Our friends at Polk Performance said they've seen more than their share of ebay turbos go to trash. It's cheaper to pay for it now, then to repurchase later.

Cx racing basicly stands for cheap china extreme. Seriously you have a beautiful car, you'd don't wanna blow it up. Cheap turbos will have you not only replacing them, but CAN also destroy your engine. There are reasons that Borg warnner, precision, and Garret turbos cost a pretty penny. They have quality control. They have research and developement. They also have proven to be reliable. It's your personal choice. We are all here to help each other so please don't take this the wrong way. There are many people on here, who have done many turbo set ups take our advise, learn from the mistakes.

On another note. What kind of ems, injectors, clutch, couplers are you considering, have you thought about Vband?

CX Racing isn't a good brand buddy. Just a forewarning, take no offense.

At least I know who to talk to if I ever decide to go F.I.!!! I would love to feel the difference in a basically stock S vs. one that's been turbo charged.
