not really… ebay isnt sick… he wanted to know what people thought it would make for power, he was hoping for 300??? i told him, honestly i think 210 tops. because SAFC + ebay, plus stock turbo 2 injectors - proper tuning = low output and/or low reliability. ---

i know the kid and he told me it wasn’t tuned and he talked to morgan to get it better numbers. he was just hoping for 300hp he never claimed to me atleast that it was 300hp. but i hear you…ebay motors parts plus apexi parts are not gonna make for big gains. ---

i feel the same way i don’t use ebay anything on my 240. but i don’t have much to really claim on it either. just greddy hot pipe,fmic, hks bov,toda racing lightened flywheel,exedy stage 2 3puck clutch,stock turbo,3 down pipe with 3 exhaust all the way back. i just got an apexi neo and boost controller and i know it won’t make for big gains but morgan said it will add about 25-30hp to the wheels. ---

yea when i talk to him i try to talk him into name brand parts but he’s all about those ebay items. i don’t know why. and the s-14 it’s really not all that fast…my cars can run with him pretty good but his wheel tq is down from the hp plus my car is alot lighter then his so it helps. ---

Most Ebay intercoolers make great junkyard turbo projects, but are not useful for any serious application. As Brett said, the core is where the true story is. ---
