its cheap because of the quality of the parts or lack there of. if you are going to do it, you might as well do it right the first time aka dont waste your time with ebay generic kits.

This is probably an OBX kit with a chinese turbo (garrett wanna be). OBX is great at piping and welding etc. but their turbos are junk. Buy the kit, sell the turbo, buy a Garrett turbo with the correct flanges. OR just run it till the turbo grenades in a month, then buy the garrett.
