Okay, so in all honesty, if you were only planning to run 4-8 psi would a kit like this really be that bad and what
else would i have to buy ? sorry if you guys get tired of these questions, but id rather be safe than sorry. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-CELI...sQ5fAccessories thanks -------------------- NOVAKx17

well its not really just that kit, i mean theres like 40 diferent cheapo ones on there. i just grabbed one to post really quick. i mean i've never seen anyone use one around here , but if they sell them all the time they can't be all garbage.. and i figure since its such a low amount of boost it wouldn't matter that much, but please feel free to correct me and increase my knowelge on the subject (: There is a reason you haven't seen them. I thought about it too and did some research and about 98% of what I read was that they are a waste of money. There is a reason adding a turbo to your car is expensive. If you could safely do it for about 600 bucks everyone would have a turbo on their car. That kit is $520 where as a name brand turbo charger by itself will cost you upwards of $1,000, if not more, before any of the other components. Personally, I would be afraid one of those kits would last about a month and then just ruin everything else. I was planning on adding boost and if I did I wouldn't do anything less than hurley97 (sorry not familiar with peoples' real names) did. But then again that build was over $6k. For that money I would most likely get another car and just keep the ST as it is. Just my opinion. |
