What do you think of this kit? I want to put it on my 1998 323iS (2.5L). I hope the front-mount intercooler will fit behind my M3 bumper

I see a lot of mentions of components and no piping, not in the screenshot either. Also at that price the turbo is likely ebay chinese quality.
because china. also no down pipe, charge pipes, etc
As far as cheap E36 turbo kits go, the one from CX Racing seems to be pretty high quality for the price. It's one of the more complete kits I've seen as well. There was a build thread on bimmerforums that used this kit.

The CXRacing turbo kit for my SOHC 240sx is on my wish list. It's a lot of bang for the buck at <$1200. Can always upgrade some of the parts as time goes on.
Who else parsed the thread title as an unswear?
It does work both ways, you know.

most chinabay turbo kits are in fact, as the filter would assess them.
In reply to M030: Another way to do it is buy a good turbo assembly piece by piece over a couple of years or so, or get a cheap kit and buy a quality Turbonetics or Garrett turbocharger.
Ooh, it's got a "AWESOME SUPER SOUND RACE BOV"
XSPower manufacturers headers for the C5, everyone says they are quite good, good power like the highend ones (although they probably give up some mid range because of the shorter primaries) and they have been updated them like 3 times for fitment.
I would have already purchased a set but I keep looking at the OBX setup because of the longer primaries.
If this is anything like the C5 headers, i probably wouldnt worry too much about purchasing it, then again I wouldnt be too surprised if the header cracked. Probably still do it though
In reply to Mr_Clutch42:
Thanks! That's the plan
It's incomplete, and I would be worried about any tubular manifold at that price needing constant re-welding.
