haha 485 horse power at 25 psi.
I would hope it makes well beyond that.

HOW THE FUCK are they even offering that for 400 shipped - WTF? Whether it works or not.

That about the right size turbo for a VW bug or a hot street bike. You mount that on a big engine and it'll overspeed and make lots of little itty bitty pieces out of the chinese turbo.

Makes me want to buy one just to see if it will fit and bolt up....

Is it remote mount or do you need to fab up some headers?

i just took a quick peek, but it looks like it y's off the stock manifold 2 bolt flange.

Yes - but if he would take the turbo out for a 100 bux or something....for 300 bux there is more than that in the intercooler/piping. LOL....

And from the pics it looks nice for a few hundred other than the lawnmower sized turbo....

I am sure it is fucked up one way or three others but the price is SUPER cheap for all that crap.

The stuff looks nice.... but you get what you pay for. We bought and tested a couple of these kits when I worked at Unleashed Performance.

If you look, it's the same kit for any and every kind of car.... they just change the name on the listing.

The chinese turbo is too small and they have about a 50% reliability rate. The aircleaner will slow down small birds, but the element is foam, so it just holds the chunks there until you get a chance to suck them into the turbo. The wastegate and fuel pressure regulators cannot be trusted. The oil lines are junk. The t-bolt clamps, silicone elbows and polished aluminum tubing is all very nice - but way to small to be of any use on a V8 sized engine. The intercooler and tubing is the exact same ones we used on 650cc engines. The cooling fans were generally pretty good.

They do have larger tubing, silicone fittings and t-bolt clamps - and we bought lots of stuff from those people.

haha lawn mower races are funny as hell. I remember when I was a kid, driving to my Grandma's we would pass this bar sort of "out there" that would be doing lawn mower races.

[Pete102580]
