It claims too much JDM for one thing. 2nd a turbo kit for under 1k is total sketch. the turbo itself should be around that!

EDIT- the BOV, wastegate, intercooler piping, turbo manifold all look pretty shoddy.

ok, i just posted a long story and the (beep) page didn't load...
Short story:
F22/23 manifolds are not =. it shows your manifold.
intercooler piping will be custom cut.
Your missing the oil return
the springs for the wastegate

but you know what, it looks similar to the one i bought. pretty good so far
If going for looks, go for it.

Yes, b/c you should buy a turbo kit for looks. Nevermind the fact that it might ruin your engine and bank account.

look for material, thickness and quality. Check feedback.
Some items are made by the same company, only that they put their name on some products and others they sell cheaper. it happens. I work @ a comp. @ purchase department. We get that all the time. I did my research b4 buying my ebay turbo. gotta prob w/ that?
