S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Is this kit legit?

It is a good deal for a grand.

However, the heart and soul of the setup is the Turbo, which the seller is not revealing the brand. 1-year warranty may sound good. However, what happen after a year?

I believe you are thinking to drive your boosted S2k for only a year, right?

Man you really should go with a name brand kit. it may cost more now, but that cheap kit will cost ALOT more later.

yea not worth it to me.

the kit does not include any management or injectors. i'm sure there's a few other things missing as well. they mention no instructions are included. good luck with that one! by the time you've bought management and injectors you'll very likely be close to a used supercharger or another one of those smaller turbo kits for the s2k. just do it right

Man these kits are a garbage and if you somehow make it work you will spend more than a grand to fix it. My buddy with an RSX bought everything name brand except for the ebay turbo shown on ur ebay ad, and lets just say he needs a new turbo after a few months. Everything on there is replica even the BOV, and if the $5000 kits have the occasional hiccups during install enjoy the burden of an ebay kit. There are good deals out there just not ebay for performance based items. Just trying to steer you away from a mess.
