Got pictures of it? From the description/prices I'd say it sounds like a SSAC turbo kit, in which case I'd say stay away.

from the look of the manifold i would say its SSAC, but there are some quality parts there like the AVC-R and the BOV and if the turbo is from Garrett its also got some quality. the only thing that i would worry about is that manifold and the wastegate. just remember that the kit isnt not including any form what so ever of fuel management. you are going to need injectors and a fuel management system, including the tune and intercooler piping there is still another easy $1,000 to spend

I'd like to ask that person, how does a $200 turbo cost you $500 and are you sure that's a garret?
