Thats all going to depend on how good a deal you get , and how similar what arrives is to the description, i have a kit here at the moment thats going to cost more than planned as the turbo is f****d, luckily the seller is a standup guy and offering to make things right,and i know its a second hand kit with no expectation other than a functioning unit so it looks like we will share the costs of recoing the turbo,
another i brought was nothing like described and pictured and worth about 1/4 of what i payed..
and you have to remember things have a definite life, old turbo kits can crack headers, have worn out turbo's , split plenums ... generally you get what you pay for

Maj summed it it up well, i've had wins & loss with second hand. I do it this way cause i have too, cannot afford new, if i had the bucks i'd buy new for sure,takes the risk out. I'll give a more detailed story in a couple of weeks when i've had a chance to get accustomed with it, got a months holiday for being reckless, gives me a bit of time to tidy some loose ends with it.I'd like to say i'd given it a little bit of stick up the road & it's pulling like a freight train but thats a fib cause i carn't do that yet. Maj has done a top job of the install & tune, looks & sounds pretty stock which is what i wanted.I'll post some pic's tomorrow.
