have been trolling websites and forums for the last 2 weeks looking for info on what kind of turbo i want and asking loads of people questions, just as i had my mind set on the kit is was gonna go for, this popped up on gumtree, i was skeptical because of how cheap it was and shite info with the for sale ad and only a pic of the box, but i said there is no harm in giving the guy a call..
after speaking to him for a few minutes it was clear he didnt really know what he had, but told me his brother bought the kit for the states over a year ago, but his bro emigrated before it got here and this big box had just been taking up room in his house...
so i took the chance and asked him to remove the ad and i went up to collect it the following day.
everything was still in the box never opened, i asked if i could have a quick look inside, finally got it open and i nearly pissed myself with excitement, seen the t28, brand new and shiney, lovely looking inter-cooler, loads of hard pipes and hoses, braided lines, decent hose clips, nuts bolts etc, so i handed over the small fee and drove home happy.
when i got home i opened everything properly but quickly noticed the manifold is wrong, after a bit of looking we noticed it is a 1.8 mani.. a little annoyed but couldnt complain as i have gotten all these bits at a quarter of the price i was going to be paying, so ill buy an exhaust manifold off cxracing next week and hopfully be back on track
here is a few pics, doesnt show all of the bits but you get an idea
