New Turbo Kit
 
Hello,

Since this is my first post here, I'll give a brief history about this turbo kit in order to explain to you why I suddenly appeared out of nowhere with an RX-8 turbo kit to sell.

A friend recently purchased a modded RX-8. The previous owner bought a turbo kit from ebay, and never got the chance to install it. My friend does not want to install the turbo, for fear that he'll get himself killed. My birthday has recently passed, and he decided to gift it to me as a belated birthday present -- thinking it would fit on my car, which it will not without heavy modification. So, here I am at the RX-8 Club forums to find a possible buyer so I can get this turbo kit out of my room!

So, for those wondering: This turbo is brand new. It has 0 miles on it.

With all that aside, I'd like to also state that the only support I can provide with this turbo kit is:
- More close up pictures, if requested
- Shipping information
- General knowledge questions about the kit
- Any questions that come up disregarding specific parts (i.e. "Where is the turbo manifold?!") - What you see is what will be shipped to you!

What I do know about the kit:
- T3/T4 model turbo
- No turbo manifold
- Cannot find link on eBay to this specific kit. If anyone can find it, I'd be happy to post it on this thread for accountability and transparency purposes. Previous owner claims he bought it for $950 off eBay.
- That's about it
- Maybe one of you can provide more information on it?

Thanks!

Looks like one of those universal ebay kits

JWeave16 05-17-2012 07:44 AM

yeah it definitely is

:rofl:

Good luck with sale. Ebay kit with no manifold and useless turbo is gonna be a hard sell sorry to say.

Chris 05-17-2012 07:46 AM

yes, OP. You can actually market that to any car forum as it is a universal kit not specifically for the rx8

How is it useless? :/

I wouldn't want to crap on your thread, but since you asked, the turbo's are undersized, made in China and unreliable.

fuztupnz 05-17-2012 08:45 AM

Yeah, sorry to thread crap, but you won't have much luck here with that, Everything in that kit is way undersized, there isn't enough straight piping, and without a manifold, it won't get anyone anywhere. even if the turbo was properly sized, you'd still have a hard time selling it. :(

Chris 05-17-2012 08:58 AM

let me put it this way. kits made for the car (pipes made specifically for our engine bay with manifold) are going for 1500. Yes they are used but also direct bolt on.

Maybe I'll have better luck selling it on ebay haha.
