EBay turbo kits

[5spdJake]

I've been looking around ebay a little bit just to get an idea of What kind of kits they have to offer, and I wanted to get your guys' opinion on the quality of most ebay kits.

Is a kit like this more likely to blow my engine (sooner at least) than a more expensive one?
From what I've researched my engine (d16y7) can handle just over 200 whp stock so I want to stay safely under that around 180.

Thanks for any input. Also my engine has 255k KM

~99 DX Hatch stock ~

Read these EMUSA Turbo reviews on D-Series.org and Honda-Tech.com. I found these on a quick search.

The general consensus seems to be they are hit or miss in quality, but they last longer if you under-utilize them and use an oil restrictor.

doesn't it come with an oil restrictor in the oil line to the turbo?

EmUsa isn't terrible. Ive personally bad and good. CX racing is your next best. but personally I would go with Godspeed. I know lots of ppl that swear by godspeed and I know a guy that runs 20psi daily

Just save money and piece your own kit together yourself. It will be more expensive than a cheap "ebay" turbo kit, but cheaper than buying a kit such as Full Race. And by piecing your own kit together you get to buy the exact parts you want. But I would recommend doing a LOT of research first before you do any turbo thinking.

I have a godspeed and it is nice if i upgrade anything it will be the turbo itself. The only thing i had to do was make the oil hole on the flange they gave me that mounts to the turbo a little bit bigger because the turbo would stop spinning at a idle like it was not getting enough oil never had the problem since then.
