I don't think that's the whole turbo kit. I think it's just the intercooler to the intake manifold...

^^^^. Your looking at over 2k once you get the hot side, injectors, fuel pump, and tune.

And from what I understand, cxracing is about the same as on3.

wowzers, last time I checked I didnt say anything bad about either. But since I’m in the wrong, how about you enlighten me to the differences.

Sure, the Headers arent cheap stainless that crack On3 re-designed themthere 1st kits out were stainless now there not..they use a better waste gate and blow off valve then the ebay kits..you can get in the kit better fuel compoments.And a complete kit to even use for factory cat back....and the turbo IMO is better quality then the ebay kits...Also from what i hear those ebay kits dont fit as well as the On3 kits...Yes will the ebay kit work sure...never said that..Im just tired of people and im not saying you...Bash on3 when they dont own them or have no experience with the kit...

I wasnt comparing on3 with ebay kits in general just the cxracing kits. I dont know much about the 2nd gen on3 kits but I figured their headers were stainless 304 too. Imho they both fill the cheaper (price wise) turbo niche. From all that ive read it seems there could be a strong case built that both kits are made from the same suplier. I personally wouldnt mind either kit if I had the money.

The thing I identified with, from the OP, was the pricing. For the longest time I thought I could turbo my car for 12xx.xx but I soon found out that there are things that are not included in most (not all) kits that would still need to be had. This is the article that actualy introduced me to the world of budget turbo building Economical Turbo Kit - Wind Of Change - Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords Magazine

Ive seen a couple on3 kit cars run at the strip and ive got nothing bad to say...but Ive also seen a hellion and pd powered cars run and have nothing bad to say about them either. You think you know bashing, I've got gt40 heads....... I've read it all :nogrinner.

Yeah i know what you mean..I bought the complete kit with fuel pump,injectors,turbo kit and Y-pipe..it was $2100 shipped not to bad..but there are always extra you need..lol...so it gets espensive... but worth it after the 1st drive...
