I'd shy away from that one. If you want a quality unit, you'll have to pay for a quality unit. That's something you're not going to want to cheap out on.

I love a good deal, but that price screams too good to be true.

You will need alot more than just a turbo. Also remeber your motor if stock will not handle high amounts of boost. I would recomend going with name brand when turboing something and making sure your motor will handle the boost.

You can't just buy any turbo and stick it on any vehicle.

What are the engine specs and exact vehicle?

For my 1996 Chevy Blazer 4.3L s-10

Yeah good luck with that.

All that ebay auction includes is a shitty turbo. You'll need two manifolds, cross over, waste gate, injectors, cold side piping, couplers, clamps, some way to control fueling once you increase injector sizing, larger fuel pump, etc. I also believe that engine is speed density, if not you'll need a bigger MAF most likely otherwise you risk pegging it and going lean. Figure in spending around 4-5k to do it...and THEN some.

Looked at the auction some more:

That turbo is far too small. It has a T3 exhaust housing with an A/R of .64. You'll literally be choking that engine. If you did get it to run and produce boost, there'd be so much backpressure on the exhaust side you'd detonate almost immediately and crack a ring land or piston.

Squires Turbo Systems - Turbocharged Innovation!

STS makes lots of rear mount kits for GM cars.

Other than that I don't know of any other company that does turbos for GM cars that come in kits.

Personally, I'd try and find a wrecked Typhoon or Cyclone and do a transplant.

Another good luck on that one.

It makes life simple. There were actually a couple nice ones on turbobuick.com
