So ya'll don't think that is a legit auction, or what?

I'd be hesitant to bid. I don't like Ebay because it is incredibly misleading and you can get shitty parts.

Could be a good kit...? The seller said its cheap cause its overstock.
The T3/T4 isnt watercooled tho. Im still going with a GT2871R in a few months!

It raises the eyebrows, but I can't see a way that it isn't too good to be true.

ebay always sells "quality" products. (sarcasm) This would be a no brainier

I seems like a put-on to me too, but I'm not sure how somebody gets that kind of feedback history behind them, if they are selling junk. (?)

Anyway... Caveat emptor.

Yeah I'd skip this one, lol. If you get even the slightest feeling of it being too good to be true, ESPECIALLY because it's on ebay, follow your instinct. A turbo kit is not something you want to skimp on. I will never buy a performance part off ebay, not one as important as a turbo anyway. And as far as his good feedback...those feedbacks were left on there before those turbos exploded, LOL. Either way, good luck!

Double Dare? Are you going to pay to clean up the mess too? :P

Overstock or not, that doesn't mean he bought that kit so cheap that he can sell it for $399. Something is wrong with that.

I'm actually going to disagree slightly and say that I bet the picture is exactly what you get for $399. I don't think it's a scammer, in the sense that it's a bait and switch or a chance to rip you off. I just think it's a cheaply made kit.

There's no way a 50 A/R compressor and .63 A/R turbine housing will allow you to push 450 HP on a MS6, or even that "on a stock motor the kit will create give the motor a 50-100 horsepower gain on a low boost setting of 8 PSI."

It's overly optimistic advertising of a low quality product, but I don't think its an out-and-out scam. It's branded "Street Demon", and I've never heard of them. It looks like a generic turbo kit that they re-list for all sorts of different cars.
