I hope you've done your research into turbo'ing!? Hope its not the one on ebay either?

Did you not fancy S/C?

PS, the kit is actually very good and the strong point is that it comes with a Greddy Emanage premapped.

Looking at the install, I think there *may* be potential fitting issues. The 2 key areas are the manifold design, because we have less space due to the steering rack etc. if there manifold and down pipe is too big, it will not fit. The turbo sits down there too. Second one is fitting the intercooler. Our aircon pipes are routed differently, and had minor fitting issues with my Vortech A/C.

Email them and they should be able to help!

Im certain the one on Ebay is a fraud. The same people keep posting up Vortech S/C's for sale and they are dodgy too. Its always a private listing and bidders ID kept private, and the seller has no history. I always report him

Be very careful....

I emailed him and said i will collect and pay for the Kit in person if i was prepared to bid this as he asks for wire transfer etc... he hasnt replied. and he said to me in mail that he'd sell private... i dop think he is bullshitting but i was prepared to see if he'd accept me collecting. i thought it was too cheap to be true...

In line with what Mark has said, have you thought about S/C?? Am starting to read up on this a bit more myself, seems alot more go down the S/C route than run a turbo.
