at least this shows that you've done zero research on going FI with the 8.

to answer your question, it's a fake.

This would be the tip off
*Professional Installation is Highly Recommended (No Instructions Included)!!*
the price would be the first indication it was fake

I dont know why things like this stand out to me...

KITS INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO : (





It really says "KITS INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO : ( AS SHOWN FROM PICTURE ABOVE )" but i think we should just stop at sad face and call it a day.

holy **** that is funny. that just made my long night at work so much better.

i just imagine someone buying that and installing it... kiss the engine goodbye.

dont buy a turbo until you can afford a proper one or you will be very sad.


as for the question abuot hte $10 catch cans on ebay.

i say go for it i know plenty of people that get their catch cans on ebay. its nothing complicated and the Greddy one is just WAAAAY over priced.

but then again idk about $10, i mean maybe, all the ones i know of people buying were $20

there is nothing wrong with getting a catch can from ebay. i have one! although i havent seen one for $10 shipped, i do have one for around $20 shipped from ebay. i was recommended to get it from a DIY from this forum

anyways, there are car parts that are okay to get on ebay, but some like these parts should not, especially if it is a large mod such as FI. as for suspension or part outs, those can be found on ebay for a good price as well. just stay away from BS crap like turbos/gas savers/kits from ebay and your goodl

I would only recommend buying cosmetic accessories from ebay such as a shift ****, strakes, rotary accents, etc. Absolutely nothing mechanical. In particular turbo kits.
