I'm not boosted so I can't help but I just wanted to say goodluck sounds sick!

i dont think i would use ebay for a turbo on my engine

After checking out all the parts, option 1 sounds sweet that's my $.02

 

[ARaccord]

yeah i think so too. was gonna use the ebay kit since it has everything and replace the bov wg fpr and have a turbo in the closet as backup.

Honestly, When it comes to turbo, you get what you pay for.

In this case, it's more than likely a waste of money, because in the long run you will be replacing so much of this kit, that you might as well piece something together with some better quality parts.

Just don't do it, it's more of a headache to try to SAVE money on a turbo kit, than just spending the extra money and get it done right the first time.

If your only gonna do 6.5psi, then I would go for option two tbh. 6.5psi isn't much, the ebay turbo should hold no problem.

From MY experiences so far, It's not until after 12 psi when the turbines start to crap out on you.

And I'm curious.. why the 4bar map sensor? The stock map sensor reads up to 10-11psi. Are you planning on upping the boost? If so, then yeah your better off doing it right the first time.

 

[ARaccord]

4 bar map is what a friend suggested, said the stock map cant take the boost pressure. but if the stock map wont freak out i wont get the 4 bar sensor.
