this topmount looks like the SPA topmount. their is a huge thread about that top mount on here and everyone that has it loves it. its a god speed band turbo. which people been having good luck with. they dont however sell downpipes for those setups so u would have to make your own.

Topmount + "GT35R" for a shade over $700...that seems legit

Save your money for something that will last. I'd be willing to bet this falls apart at or soon following your first dyno session. My general rule for avoiding rip-offs is to disregard EVERYTHING from Ebay. So far, it seems to be working...
