Hey all, I was considering turbocharging my 1990 celica with a 5sfe engine, and i stumbled upon this kit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-5SFE-Stainless-Steel-Turbo-T3T4-Kit-/350385521346?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories
It was the cheaper of the ones that i have been looking for, and the parts do not seem to be named. I have heard that when turbocharging a car, you shouldnt try to be cheap at all, and in this case there is a more expensive kit, but I was wondering if this would be a good idea, of if I should try to find more quality parts.

Read the post in the FAQ thread in the Camry forum about this. Maybe your answer is in there.
Note that in the ebay listing, the seller states that the engine has to have "supporting modifications and a built motor", meaning you better be careful how much boost you give a stock engine.
