yeah unless you want to spend twice the amount then go with it so all the main things you can just throw away...... like the turbo, manifold, wastegate, downpipe...... SSAC is JUNK pass on it... if you want a kit go with a revhard or greddy..... there is a reason SSAC is cheap.........

The manifold cracks no matter what..People have braced them in different places and they still crack..And their turbos are horrible..They make good power and do their job ...but they dont last long at all..

The wastgates Im unsure of..Lots of people say ..But who knows

Are you going to ask until someone says it's a good deal?

I've heard of the turbo's falling apart and the manifolds cracking (the cracking can be braced, but I wouldn't bother.)

I wouldn't pay 1k for it. You can buy a complete SSAC kit for 500 and get a BOV for a couple hundred, along with brand new feed and return lines for under a grand.

Only thing you would need would be injectors and a chipped ECU, which you can do yourself for $15 if you have a soldering iron.
