You should be able to get a manifold/IC combo w/out the turbo and wastegate and what-not for cheaper if that's what you are actually looking for

I PERSONALY KNOW people who have run these "ebay" turbos on their Hondas, both have lasted years and have been making rediculous power. The turbos did not smoke, nor did the seals instantly "blow out". Granted, you can only expect so much, as they've never ran over 12psi, but it fits the application perfectly, and performs better than expected.

and with over 300hp in a teggy should be fun for that price.
I will start a new thread arround x-mas break as I will be experimenting with ebay turbos on a teggy and on a supra.
Just install it, create a thread on Supra build up/gallery, and keep us posted. Include all experiences... good and bad. Include details of installation, power output, and a log to keep us posted on its performance. Report any malfunction if any. Thanks for going out on a limb and trying this kit. Good luck and have fun. If the turbo doesn't work out then at least you get a good manifold and I/C out of it. You can always replace the turbo with another T4 turbo and run it on that manifold.
ok guys i got the kit and all i can say is wow. the turbo isnt held together with glue far from it infact all the kit is very well made i ended up with a turbo a manifold a waiste gate a blow of valve a 3 inch down pipe an air filter and a wastegate pipe . also in the kit are all the turbo oil lines and an afpr also with all the fuel lines . im sure that stuff about the turbo must have bin rubbish , oh almost forgot also got a massive intercooler . i also oreder a maf-t pro kit from rull extreme psi , oh and a wide band kit from tek edge also a tig welder . im gonna be bizzy guys:naughty: :naughty: :icon_bigg :icon_bigg
good luck man i really hope it works because some of "US" who dont have alot of money or live at home or live off daddys pocket can use a cheap kit..... alot of people who tell you to get the expensive stuff is because they either dont have BILLS or get $ from daddy....lol
Theres nothing wrong with experimenting or saving money. I just know from experience that when you take chances with unproven parts that are dealing with boost, it can cost you an engine. My low compression engine is proof (thanks to cheap wastegate lines that melted causing 29 pounds of boost). Good luck and be carefull.

I'm curious to see the photos somewhere other than Ebay, or ebay haters websites.
I would replace the hot side housing on that turbo, more than likely it's a P trim? Not sure however, but with some simple measurements of the exhaust wheel, and a turbo dealer could tell you what trim exhaust wheel you have.
Then I would buy a housing that is more like .65 or .70 to keep spool up in a very power rich range for the 7MGTE. (Too large and you run out of RPM on the stock computer, to small and you get too much boost down low and that can cause problems.)
Post up some pics when you get a chance.
