I understand not getting it because of the whole E-Bay thing, but I do want a smaller turbo. I just want it for low end. Smaller turbo= less lag right? ( I also understand I need a FEW minor adjustments to my engine before installing a turbo.)

not necessarily. you can safely run 9-10lbs of boost on the stock engine/internals but if you plan on pushing more than that you need to rebuild the bottom end. . . pistons, rods, rings. then you'll be good upto about 19-20 lbs

well that one at least has a good turbo, but even with the kit you still have to understand that it is not all the stuff you would need. Your gonna need fuel components, internal components unless you dont want to run high boost. And i like how they said that the turbo will get you 300hp which that is only with a built engine and good tuning. And that is another thing you would need it guages and some sort of tuning.

Thank you. I do understand that, and I have a 420A block that I am starting from scratch with. The engine in my car is basicly good for what I use it for, driving. But I want the other engine to be right at, or just above 300hp. I am just getting opinion of real people before I go with what the custom garages around here say.
