    Help me find a good ebay turbo kit for my E30

    Hey guys!

    km:245k
    mod list below

    Hey guys! looking to turbo my E30. my main goal is to go with KAmotors turbo kit with MS ECU, but that's really pricey, for the time being i'd like to get some sort of turbo in my E30,
    looking on Ebay( i know i know bad) i see a few turbo kits that aren't going to break the bank and put the car at a respectable number for hp. I"ll list down below what i'm looking at and if you guys could tell me if these are good kits or if any of you have any experience with them,


    looking for somewhere in 300 to 400 hp with some of these kits.

    thanks guys!

    kit 2: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/BMW-3-series-...BSbxVy&vxp=mtr

    Those aren't so much a kit as a box of junk that can be made into a kit.

    There are a few, proud members who made it their mission to prove the certain ebay kits are worthy.

    Where are they now?

    Look up Kamotors, better than an ebay kit, still very affordable, and it's been tried and tested by Kamerin for years.

    Yes you can buy an ebay kit and get it to work but you'll end up getting all the stuff in the kamotors kits anyways because most of the ebay stuff is a pain, crap EWG, bovs can be ok but dont expect the best. Better off saving up and getting the good components from the get go such as rapid spool mani, good quality turbo, WG, bov etc.
