I see 2 MAJOR missing parts. The exhaust manifold and the down pipe.

This kit is a joke. It even states you need to have exhaust manifold fabbed and that it is not bolt on. The biggest issue of all would be tuning the ECU.
Don't waste your time on this kit.

Wouldnt exactly called it cra*!....For the money,the kit is well worth it!Just the cost of the T04 is more that what he is selling the whole kit for!Only thing wrong I see with kit ,are the intercooler pipes need to be flared or they get blow out by the boost pressure.
Its wrong that he is advertising as an X5 kit but he does state that its not a bolt on job and requires other parts and expert installation!Only X5 this is be universal for,would be the 3.0i but then the cost of putting it all together and fabricating parts to fit, would be 2 to 3 times the cost of the kit. Still not a bad kit for someone who knows how to put it all together... |

typical chinese knockoff turbo. A real quality turbo will be at least double the price. You pay 550 plus shipping and you will have parts in a box until you find a compatible manifold. Once the system is bolted on you will blow out the turbo after the first few times making boost.
You need to contact TCD turbo or Miller Performance and see how much a real "bolt on" turbo system will cost. |
