    Really, A piggy back? Depending on what car and what year most can actually be chipped and tuned Thicker headgasket for over 5-8 psi?All depends, comp works well with turbo setups to an extent So just the wastegates and oil lines are crap from the ebay kits?Lots of people have problems with the turbo seals and those stainless manifolds too

    OP I'd read up a little bit more about turbo's and kits before you try to boost. Research is key to having a good reliable set-up, Buy a good quality kit and make sure your engine is good and healthy. I can post some links for a good informative read if you'd like.
