When the turbo "kit" costs less than the price of a good turbo, then yeah, its crap.

Brand new “Street Demon” Series turbo package for your vehicle. The most complete turbo package available for the price. This package has all new quality parts that are capable of producing well beyond 485 horsepower at 25+ PSI with supporting modifications and a built motor. This is the most complete package available compared to others at an affordable price. On a stock motor the kit will create give the motor a 50-100 horsepower gain on a low boost setting of 8 PSI. Also, the included electronic turbo timer provides a hassle-free operation of precisely calculating the cool down period to ensure a proper cool down for your turbocharged motor. Works with either automatic or manual gearboxes. This kit may allow you to keep your air conditioning and power steering for a great street setup.

Too bad they don't proof read either. LOL
But.........25 psi? also, only 485 hp on a built motor. Someone if going to get ripped off here.

Nice catch, Paul.
"One of these things is not like the other..."

Nope that wasn't my point.

The kit is in 2" or 2.5" piping.
It also only has a single turbo.
Look at the pic below, there are no new exhaust manifolds, exhaust Y pieces or exhaust piping to allow you to fit this to a V8. A V8 has 2x exhaust manifolds.

On top of that your V8 G8 has approx 4" OD intake piping. There are no 2.5" to 4" upsize couplings shown.

If the single turbo and piping are based around 2 to 2.5 inches I doubt the kit has been sized correctly to provide the flowrate required to provide the boost figures quoted for a 6.0 V8.

It's a kit suitable for a 1.6 Civic or weedwacker but not a 6.0 V8.

Edit...his ad didn't say G8-GT, just G8. All the points above still apply to a V6 G8.

As Jerseymike68 would say...

"thanks for these information"

:)

I think I'm going to email someone that's bought one of these to see if they had it installed.

Sure. It's not meant for the application it's advertised for.
