Builds DIY FJZ80 Low Budget Turbo Build (1 Viewer)

There sure is a LOT of fluff in that picture of the kit. 5 unnecessary gauges and a tach is funny. Not to mention the hose dress up kit.

What does anyone think of this?

It's a lot of shiny random chinese parts that will not fit your cruiser, will require a lot of custom fabrication to even bolt on, and you'll probably have to sell on craigslist for $250 once you have spent a year realizing that you've made the wrong purchase.

THIS ^^^

• A T3/T4 turbo is too small for a 4.5, it will kill your motor
• That is, if this kit even provided a way to mount it to your motor, which it does not (no exhaust manifold)
• In order to come in at that price, ALL the parts must be junk.

It is possible to build a decent kit for around $2500 (see link in my sig) but it is a lot of work and trial and error. The end result is not perfect. The Wits' End kit really is an all-encompassing "kit" meaning he's thought of everything you will actually need. And the price is reasonable for all that you get (all high quality parts). That's why I ditched my homemade kit and bought the Wits' End Turbo kit.

You'd be better off just building everything from scratch than buying a kit like the one posted.

I put a Wit’s End kit on a friends 80 and it is worth every penny and then some. On the cheap side I think you get what you pay for and probably less (like how everything at the dollar store is worth less than a dollar). On the premium side you get what you paid for and likely more (if you do your research and make smart choices).
@Heckraiser knows what he is talking about from experience

First thought is: you get what you pay for, second thought: it is cruiser outfitters who have a reliable company. More information is needed to really form an opinion.
