well to start things off my goal is to swap in an rb26dett one day and most of you said to just save all my money for the swap but im starting college and to get the engine and swap done will be awhile from now. so me and a friend of mine were talking and he said I could just turbo my ka for now and later on sell my engine for around 2000 if not more to help fund the rb swap. so I was wondering what you guys thought about buying a complete turbo kit off ebay for 600 and scraping the turbo and buying a godspeed,greddy,or something worth using. I know some stuff is junk off ebay but would everything else be usable? its a t3/t4 turbo. thanks

that helped on the most part. but my question is more about if the ebay kits hold there own. I won't run the ebay turbo itself. but I was planning on using the intercooler,piping,bov, wastegate,ect.

 

That's fine, many people do that
