    They can be hit or miss. I was going to run one from Godspeed but order the wrong one. I figured its got a 90day warranty and if makes it past that they are only $300.

    You can get a bigger ic on eBay and universal ic pipe kit.

    Exhaust pipes would have to be custom though and that's were the big costs start if you can't weld yourself.

    As been said they are hit or miss. Some run years without problems, some fire it up and the seals are already leaking. Most say when you start cranking above 8psi is when things start to go wrong. Some have rebuilt them with garret parts. But as everyone says $200-300 for a ebay turbo you can have a nice used holset for 300-350.
