1234??? I’ve heard they can be junk. Some say last 100 miles. Some say 10k miles. I only drive my truck on wkend. Do you think every part in the kit is junk or just the turbos? I’ve heard the intercoolers are decent??

Yes, $1,234.

I couldn't tell you about the durability of this particular kit, but I do know that's awful cheap and I've heard nothing but bad things about the cheap turbo kits on ebay. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Besides being cheap chinese junk, what are you really buying? Its all universal parts. What is specifically designed for your Dakota? Maybe the headers are for a small block mopar, but that is about it. Everything else has to be made to fit.

There are several of those kits. All different prices. 1000 hp on a stock motor just by adding this kit?

Oh no. I think there trying to say that this kit can support up to 1000hp which I highly doubt. Seen a couple test with them side by side with a Garrett I think... they actually worked and made boost but on the same engine the Garrett usually produced double the power gain, which you could say reflects being half the price. I figured most would be against the kit. But I do think it be cool to test (not me) for someone who had the time and money. Because honestly if it DOES work and it DOES produce power gains...why not? The parts are so cheap that you could just buy another. I think there turbos are $200 ea separate. I’ll probaly stick with the Paxton but it is interesting☺️
