   what you guys think of this kit in the link above.
   
   what do you reckon its worth cause think im gonna put a bid in if you guys say it looks ok.
   
   can you fit a oil cooler which comes with the kit to a mk2 saxo as they have a different oil filter.

   has to one of least complete kits ive ever seen, there is no way to bolt the turbo to manifold, no down pipe. If it goes for less than say £100 it wont be to bad as the bits are worth that, if it goes for more ill start seliing them lol

   it says all you need is the pipework which i assume he means the boost/intercooler pipes. but he dosnt mention a standalone ecu or mf2 controller so might send him a message.
   
   are the mk1 and mk2 vtr manifolds the same.
   
   does anyone know if you can fit oil cooler to mk2 as sandwitch plate is different.
   
   im only after a simple kit which I can add to coz would change intercooler, get pipes, get fuel management ect. just need manifold turbo and down pipe really.

   The manifold is less than Ideal as its just standard cut to fit and I cant really tell from photos but it doesnt look like the turbo would sit flat.
   
   The intercooler is also too small, you would be running quite high temps with that and there are no specs of the turbo.

   crap like that is always on ebay unfortunately.
   
   I might go down and buy a turbo and sell it on ebay, sure a killing is to be made lol
   
   Odds are they are the same few "kits" being sold over and again due to the owners realising the fact they bought something less than good.

    O god not this shit again. This very kit had been resold so many times on ebay its getting parenthetic. Absolutely and utterly avoid. Even for the £60 its at now. There was one guy kicking these out no so long ago and was selling them or hundreds on ebay and not even one actually ever made it as a working kit. It was some fucking idiot just getting a load of scrap paining it black then claiming its a full kit worth thousands.
