Do not buy anything off of Ebay.

You have a nice tuner car, its not a civic, spend the extra money for something else.

We have several good options for bolt on Turbo's that are based on the stock turbo (stock frame turbochargers).

You are in MN it looks like, call MAP (Modern Automotive Performance) and get them to set you up with the proper turbo and supporting mods. They have their own line of bolt on turbos, they work great and aren't too terribly expensive. They used to be in Plymouth but recently moved to Cottage Grove.

Stay away from Ebay, its the devil of good performance parts.

We can certainly help you source a PTE unit of your choosing as well if you're dead set on T3

Has anyone ran a kPa Turbo.

Price is a main concern for my build up. And for Ceramic Dual Ball Bearing Turbo, looks to be a great turbocharger. They even back it up with a warranty. Is anyone a dealer for them?

How much is a PTE going to run? Any warranty on them?

Thanks for the help keep it coming.

PTE has a one year warranty and pretty good track record, I'm afraid I can't comment on the other line.

If you cant buy something with a good history - wait till you can. Best of luck hunting down turbo that fits your overall goals.
