5.0 Turbo kit
I have been looking for one for my stock 90 lx and the best deal I found was on ebay. I was wondering if anyone had any good or bad experience with these ebay kit's with a stock motor. The maker of the kit is claiming 488hp and 666tq on stock motor with only a few small mod to the engine ,aka head studs and msl gaskets. The kit it self looks over all a good value but the turbo,bypass valve and waste gate I have questions about quality. I could build one myself but time and some of the equipment is the problem. I also have a few questions about tuning this once I do have it all bolted on. I called on this turbo kit and they told me I would need a blow through mass air flow meter. My first question on that is what is the difference between a blow through and a standard. He also said that it would need to be calibrated to the injectors? I am not sure how that works or if it is true. I am looking into getting a cheap laptop and doing it myself but not sure were or what I should get to tune engine once I get the turbo installed. I am going to go through the motor before the turbo gets installed with better rotating asm but the top end will be almost stock for a year or so. The power I want to make is in the 400 to the tires.

most of the inexpensive ebay gets can be improved on...make sure you get the car tuned after installing the turbo kit or you'll be replacing headgaskets every weekend.
