I would do it but paypal only protects you up to $1000.00 so either way I would end up fighting with paypal to get the $1000.00 back and when I pay shipping I would lose that money. a little too risky for me. I will watch what happens with these auctions and see if he gets positives on them then I will buy.

yeah i saw the same thing posted on there a while ago for 650. and he said that it was specifically made for the lancer, but said that it would fit several other cars as well. im not sure only one feedback score, doesnt seem legit enough to me.

I belive it could be a scam.. The reason why I say that is because you cant pay for it threw pay pal. If he did have pay pal and you bought it from him, pay threw pay pal that would be better. I say that b/c if you pay for it and he never ships it to you or doesnt send you the right stuff. You can contact pay pal and tell them you didnt get your stuff. Pay pal will give you your money back. I belive they call it a: Buyer dispute

also, its seems that he will only be willing to ship it out. and not to a pick up. scam written all over it.. i just hope on one buy's this crap. on the other hand, if somebody does buy and get scammed. its there own damn fault for being so stupid.

not necessarily a "scam" persay....look like universal koreon knockoffs. Probably just trying to unload a whole bunch of universal turbo kits...but is just labeling each kit as made for a different car.


Its like searching for mufflers and they'll have the same muffler listed multiple times, but listed as car specific. Ebay dosn't allow you to have multiple listings for the same items so you say that its a kit for a different car each time....

Still garbage though....the pipes look like they are made of lead! LOL

The plumbing is stainless steel from the looks of things. Not sure on the downpipe. I guess no one else noticed the complete and total lack of fuel management, or the oversized downpipe.

Yes, the pic looks fake, but actual pics aren't required. If you follow the links provided for the individual parts it's pretty clear they're directly copied from there and pasted onto a background. It could be representative in the seller's defense.

All things considered though, I wouldn't bother. You'd have to have some ***** to throw a lump of cash like that the seller's way without more protection from fraud.

Dont do it its probablly the same guy who scammed me for the same kit for the same money , luckily i used a credit card and they took care of it cause ebay didnt, except kick him off . its probablly him under a different name.
