Or should i stay away from custom turbo setup and just buy a kit?

I think that kit is too much for what you get. That is only a turbo and maybe a manifold, doesn't look or read to be like you are getting anything else. I'm selling my setup for $400 shipped and you get more. http://www.geocities.com/technical9/Turbo.html What you see is what you get there. Keep in mind I haven't tested the turbo ever since I pulled it off the volvo I took it off of, but it seems to be in great condition. And you will need to fab the pipes yourself.

i haven't looked at the ebay ad but if you've never worked with turbo setups or you don't know much about turbo, go with the kit always. the kits are best for starters and later on down the road you'll be able to know what exactly you need for ideal performance. customizing ends up costing the same with reliable parts as the kit may provide. study up.
