Default na-t steal?

Found this dude on Craig's with some SC/supra na-t pieces. He had the following parts..
XS power manifold,
61mm godspeed turbocharger with T4 flange,
3 inch V-band clamp,
downpipe,
brand new in box oil/feed return lines with AN fittings,
XS Power wastegate with 10 psi spring.

(He said Turbo has a little shaft play but once spooling it should tighten up with its oil?)

Now he wants $500 +shipping for this. Supposedly I only need IC/PIPING AND BOV. Should i jump on this? Inisghtttt

I would buy everything but the turbo. However, for that price, it's not worth it.

A used ebay turbo with a slightly better than ebay manifold and accessories, all for the price of a new ebay kit that usually includes an intercooler and piping? I'll pass.

So I can basically part those same accessories on eBay for cheaper

I would just save up for parts from Driftmotion. I have the single turbo .57 kit. My manifold is nice, turbo has yet to have any issues, can't beat it..

heres a link to my turbo: http://store.driftmotion.com/static/...imturbokit.php

But, they also offer NA-T setups for a good deal too!

Exactly.
XS power stuff is a notch above generic ebay but it being used is kind of a deal breaker at that price.

That's crap. Misinformation abounds. thats not a bad deal and you could likely flip any parts you dont like. The XS power manifold has worked great for me for 20k miles. no issues at all. All of that stuff is more than 1000 from clubna-t.com and you can get a intercooler setup for cheap as well.

That stuff is better than ebay and it costs about 5 dollars to rebuild a turbo if no hard parts are bad.
