well, a customer of mine bought one of those kits. He just recently installed it. He became my customer since the piping didnt fit well at all. I ended up redoing most of them. That manifold and turbo is the same quality as the SSAC kit. You will also have issues running the top radiator hose and oil drain line. IM me if you want to see the pictures of it installed. I really dont think those kits are worth it.... That T70 will crack that manifold in no time.

Comes from the same chinese girl that the SSauto ones do. Tell her to work harder so your manifold won't crack.

The manifold is thin steel, but no reason it won't last as long as any tubular header if you attach the turbo to the engine with a sturdy bracket. The turbo will blow apart, though, and a T70 is way too big for the entry-level people that will be buying this kit. Maybe if it was flanged for a T3 and didn't come with an "XSPower" turbo, it could be a good starting place.

Also pretty sure the intercooler would require you to completely remove your bumper.
