Came across this kit on ebay. The entire kit is $640. The front mount intercooler on my previous car cost more then that. Is this Turbo kit Legit???????

no

You will have to make your own oil lines with that kit since it states the oil accessories are not included.

Also the manifold will crack and fall off of the flanges within 2 weeks.

what do you think about this one, seems to be a little more complete....

you should ask in the FI section of the forum

:devillook

RRdawho? and I can represent the CA FI section in this thread. Multiply $650 by 20 and you will approach the range of having a reliable and powerful turbocharged M3, fair estimate Rich?

400rwhp and not blowing up anything for like 20K miles, haha, sad, I know.

Sounds about right...

If your a DIYer, the price tag also includes a wealth of knowledge and learning :shifty

I'm sure this will complement your monifold and cams very well. Keep smoking those M5's!

Absolutely. We Californians have superior knowledge of turbines and stuff, bra.

I like how they don't even put a pic of the intercooler in there.

650 x 20 = 13000.

No thanks.

Thats on the low end unfortunately :(

If you want to do it right then spend the money... 10k+ is where your looking to be for a daily driver thats not going to fall apart and blow up

And that is probably just parts alone, not considering professional installation.

$10k is pretty realistic.

Prairie dog... :rofl:

$650? I say do it, who needs a motor that is fully intact and functioning lol. The horsepower you can gain for about five minutes will be well worth it...

Professional installation? :shifty

Professional installation? :shifty

Yeah, well, I was out of the country for 6 months and did not really have a choice. I installed it myself the first time, blew the headgasket and was out of the country.

My MLS just went south a few weeks back. I hate blown hg's...
