Is this a good quality turbo kit on ebay? Does anyone have this on their 94-95 mustang? Any comments?

general rule of thumb ... you tend to get what you pay for

that said, on the surface, it looks like it has some potential ...

That turbo kit has come up on here and on Corral before. Apparently it has some fitment issues, but if you are handy with a welder it provides the general plumbing and the intercooler you need to make a good turbo kit at a reasonable price. The turbo itself is questionable for use. Not sure what they use now, but the old one was a Chinese turbocharger. If you are running it on a stock motor you couldn't care less about it, it's a reasonable risk. If you have a better motor with quality parts, probably not such a good idea. The turbocharger is upstream of your engine, so when that chinese turbocharger scatters, it will most likely severely damage the engine. So, if you want to run that on a nice engine, nothing on that kit with the exception of the turbocharger can do any real damage, just be a hassle if it's low quality. Just buy it with the expectation of buying a better quality turbocharger, waste gate and blow off valve.

Has a turbo "let go" and stuff made it all the way through the intercooler into the motor?


I know there is a possibility...just wondering if there is any real world events. Seems like it'd be damn hard, especially on a same side in/out intercooler.

I've seen it happen a few times. Not always on Mustangs.

I have read good and bad results. I think r.barn hit the nail on the head in your post on Corral.

Good luck
