The auction is a scam. The seller will most definelty ask that you send him the money by Western Union only. Stay away, and wait till you can afford to buy from a trusted vendor.

 

I agree with Jesus cookies, ask the seller a question, " how do you expect payment" and if he answers with any less than paypal then bugger off should be your reply.

Custom cast iron manifold? All jokes aside, the seller seemed to do a pretty decent job of describing the kit overall (not perfect, but compare to other seller's descriptions that we know do have the parts). However, the fact that there is only one picture (isn't the close up just a zoom of the bigger pic?) makes this seem rather fishy. It looks like he just found an engine-bay picture of someone's car and then decided to "sell" that person's turbo kit on eBay. How about some pics of the turbo kit removed from the car?

Also, if you can't afford the basic parts to go single at common street prices, you shouldn't go single. I'm not saying that it doesn't make sense to try to save money where you can, but in general you should expect to spend roughly double what you estimate for parts on the conversion. You need to install everything, you will break **** or find broken **** along the way, you will find that you need a new clutch, and wheels, and tires, and motor mounts, and this gasket, and that hose, etc. as you do the install. And you should get the car tuned afterward (witness a tuning session sometime and you will see that tuning is the best bang-for-the-buck mod out there). Don't start a single project with budget worries.
