Well I just got my supercharger back from being rebuilt and it blew up after about 2 miles. So I'm wondering what are some good turbo kits that are reasonably priced. I'm looking at THIS ONE. Thanks in advance for any good suggestions.

Best thing to do is take some time and do a little reading about turbos in general. Once you get to figure out how it all works and how the same turbo can be set up many different ways to have many different results, you might change your mind about buying a "kit". It is easier to just buy a complete set up ready to bolt on your car but it doesn't mean it's the best for what you want to do with the car. Inducer, exducer, A/R, boost map......it's all stuff that can help you make a better choice.

I've heard that the ebay kits are cheap for a reason - that the head units are sometimes real junk, that the headers don't fit or crack at the welds, and that they need a LOT of work to make the piping fit. A couple friends have said they ended up spending as much on making it work then just ponying up the $$$ for a legit kit from the getgo. Which one did Matt go with and did he have issues?

I have a pony down kit....It does include everything but be prepared for alot of heat managment issue with all the hot exhaust now under the hood...its worth it once you get it all worked out.
