Buyer Beware!!!!

I saw this on ebay,

BULL**** TURBO KIT ON EBAY!
This guy just recently sold this kit for like 1800 bucks in a previous auction. Now he has got another one listed just like it.
THIS WILL NOT FIT A LANCER
This kit is a partial kit for a honda. There is no engine management. The flanges will not work. The tubular header design could possibly work with a new head flange welded on but it is hard to tell without seeing it in person. More than likely the water pipes will be in the way. But there is some serious fabrication to be done. IF you want to try this, buy the one from SS Auto chrome on ebay for like 400 bucks for the same thing.
Stuff like this really pisses me off and I thought That I would share this with everyone.

I've been seeing that in there for weeks. He thinks it's a universal kit or something; definitely not for the Lancer...

The first clue is that it needs a Lancer flange. What type of car specific kit has a manifoold that needs to be hacked?? Plus, a while back someone had posted that he bought this honda kit for like 300 bucks from one of his previous buyers, then tried to badge it a Lancer kit and sell it for three times the price.

He did sell it. Some one bought for 1800 bucks. Now he has relisted another kit. Making 1500 or so a kit. I called him out on it this is what he replied.

This is a good deal on a kit. It looks as though this is a old greddy kit for a mirage. I checked into it and I was not able to find a greddy kit at all for the mirage.But if I remember correctly they did make one at one time. This is the second time this guy listed this kit. the first time there was no bidders. looks ok to me. Check it out.Turbo kit

Well I just got off the phone with greddy and they never made a manifold for a lancer or the mirage. Neither did trust. So this is not greddy. But it is definately on there, but greddy didnt make it.
