Default EBAY Turbo Kits?

Hey.....here's a dumb question...I want to save money and go cheap on a turbo kit. I'm thinking about a Ebay turbo kit. What do you guys think?

Here's a list of my future build up:

GSR Bottom:
Low Compression Wiseco Pistons and Rods
ACL Main Bearing

And completely stock GSR head...


What do you think of this setup?


Thanks in advance.

If you have the money to build the motor then you should have the money to build up the turbo kit properly. Dont waste your money on SS Autoshit parts!!!
