Default Found a turbo for is250?

I'm not certain, take a look.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-GT...941886&vxp=mtr

comes with feed lines, bov, fmic, turbo, piping and even (lol at this) a license plate frame, all for less than an exhaust.

I dont want to sound mean or anything but if anyone EVER built a turbo kit for our cars, you would more than likely find out from the forums and not ebay...

It's almost like youre surprised in your find? Its a "universal" kit, not just a bolt on kit. And i agree with Bob. Most everything relevant and useful for the 2IS has been posted and scrutinized until facts are laid out and gibberish is removed. lol

Go ahead and buy it though and tell us how it works out.

generally speaking you'd be surprised the kind of gibberish people continue to subscribe to.

Not to knock a design because Treadstone def puts out good parts..... But I started working on a rear mount setup and it fits like a glove on foot on our cars. The piping is going to hang waay low, you can forgot about any kind of stance or nice drop. Among many other things the oil pump setup is crude and there aren't many viable options out there unless you add more parts for much needed oil cooling and fail proof circulation. Finally, just look at the pic...tucking the turbo, piping, wg, etc in one spot is an impossible mess!
