Doesnt clear some heat shields and also requires work for some intakes i believe

Not the best product, especially one that is mostly aesthetic

Ebay turbo kits? Im thinking if you use the kit to get a nice set up and swap the turbo for a better on. a lot of times the kits have hks bovs ect so the turbo would be the only crap part to matter. but for like 700 im thinking about it?

I wouldnt do it. The turbos are crap, the wastegates are crap, the BOV's are crap, the manifold will probably end up cracking, the couplers and clamps are cheap and will most likely leak. By the time you purchase all that, you could have all nice quality parts for the same price. Then of course plus the cost of a fuel system and EMS.

Don't do it. Will spend more in the long run most likely. Just save up and do it right!

Yes it does nothing but let you put ur hand on in it when working on the engine bay. And there have been some turbo kits that aren't too bad, check my index thread.

whao whao. x-brace is not the same as a strut x bar. x-brace does help out a little. strut x bar does nothing.
