Hot dang, I'm gonna get me two of those, one for each bank of cylinders.
Hell, with an a-dapter kit and some piping from Home Depot, I can have me a twin turbo-ed FR-S for less that $400. - humfrz |

Just be sure to get the high temp PVC piping and you'll be fine. What could go wrong?

So for real, what is the deal? If you look up on Amazon the have turbo kits for $200-300 all day long. What are they made of wood or something?

“Fits all” with no piping, fittings or anything else. Low grade castings, sleeve bearings and overall crap parts. The perfect thing for those that just want to say they have a “turbo”. They probably sell millions of them.

That seems like it would be sort of easy to cobble together and fix. As far as bad casting, would it just rip apart? I really just can't see how it goes from $150 to $4000. |

Thank you.
You couldn't pay me $4k to put this on my poor little car. I think we can all imagine the inevitable end result of this....

I'm thinken ol @Ultramaroon is looking at it pretty hard.
To give him a boost, I ask Bubba to put together a prototype. It has the basics, it jest needs a bit of refinement. What about it Ultramaroon - humfrz |

Walmart is trying very hard to adopt Amazon's ecommerce model. These products are sold by 3rd party vendors through Walmart's portal

It looks the part of a real turbo but that is where it ends. It took the name brand expert engineers a couple of years to develop a proper turbo for these cars do you really think that you can just grab an off the shelf "universal" one and have it work properly? Have all the reputable vendors been ripping everybody off all this time?

This is a typical ebay turbo special from DNA motoring: http://dnamotoring.com/web/
This type of $100-$600 turbo specials you find on amazon, eBay, or now walmart are super well known for having sketchy wastegates that don't let you control boost properly. Seen plenty of these at my friends shop that require quite a LOT of modification and work just to get them to work right, and after that they last maybe a 12-18 months in racing scenarios before something blows or gets stuck blowing the motor as well.
