say NO NO NO to ebay turbo kits. the only thing you should get from ebay from a turbo is the intercooler piping and ring clamps.

for the turbo itself, go with garrett or something close. most of the piping will be custom fabbed. i dont think you know what youre getting in to. expect to pay well over 2k plus tuning

Well i expected 1-2k for turbo w/ all parts. i can get installed and tuned with Hondata for free

Is there such thing as getting a good K24 turbo kit for 1-2k? or if anyone has good ideas. please link em.
So far this is been mission impossible trying to find a turbo kit for an 07 K24 accord

your gonna need to overhaul the engine w/ new pistons, rods, and head if you want to run anything over 6-8 psi.

Yea, i knew that, but i was going to run around 8psi for awhile. any good place for heads,etc? and is the eBay turbo really bad? the only other one i've found that i may be able to afford >.> (its not so much , how much, but how quick, i can get it) is this one:

But if it is poeeible to have a decent outcome of the eBay, id love to go with it.

i'll have to disagree w/ the ebay turbo's fame. I bought mine from ebay and it's been mounted for almost 2 years in my car @ 7psi and so far so good. if it's life span is usually 5 yrs, and it costs less than half than a garrett, i'll go for ebay turbo. they work the same way, only difference is longevity.
most of my buddies have boosted cars and we all have different brands and it's proven that they are the same. (the oldest turbo is 6 yrs and it's a turbonetics i believe. but the younger turbos are still running)

I've seen to many disaster stories of the compressor fins breaking off and getting sucked into cylinders...
