    Default turbo kit

    EMUSA Turbo Kit Scion tC 2AZFE Bolt On 05+ T3 Turbo : eBay Motors (item 200468102068 end time Jun-01-10 14:56:05 PDT)

    hey guys i was just wondering if you can take a look at the description and if there is anything else i would need to buy IF i got this turbo kit... Im just trying to find out what all the parts are for turbo kit and if it would be cheaper to buy part by part instead of as a whole. thanks

    Don't!!!! Look at the price! A full turbo kit for $669? The turbo itself should cost more than that. A full stage III kit usually runs well north of $5000.00.
    Now, let's look at their own photos.
    1. The SS downpipe sure looks like it has corrosion (rust). Only faux stainless steel rusts like that.
    2. Charge piping is "aluminized" steel. This is heavy compared to full aluminum and the aluminum coating will eventually flake off causing the steel to rust.
    3. Look at the fitment of the downpipe to the s-pipe. It looks horrendously out of alignment, thusly will cause exhaust leaks here. This will cause the BankSensor1 (wideband) to read incorrectly which could cause engine damage at high boost.
    4. What brand/type BOV and wastegate?
    Need I go on?
    How Fast Was I Going?

    lol i wasnt going to buy it i was using it as an example to see if these are all the parts needed for a full turbo kit or would i need more parts and also if it would be cheaper to buy a kit as a set or seperately

    Pretty much the right parts list but it should include upsized injectors, fuelpump, and piggyback of some sort. Optional would be a boost controller. Even the TRD S/C has larger injectors at 7PSI (380cc --> 440cc). The OEM fuel pump is fine with 440cc injectors but starts to see limitations with 550cc and up injectors at high duty cycles.
