That is a good price, and it is brand new, they also do rebuilds I believe, few customer have dealt with them. Make sure though your getting the right housing, usually the 5 bolt is a little more $100 more. Whats this mean to you, well some manifolds are designed around 5 bolt flanges and won't work with a 4 bolt. Just a heads up.

On another note though, for a little more go with a precision. Check out our site for a sale going on.

What manifold do you have ? 5 bolts and 4 bolt turbos are different, they sit differently. Therefore some manifolds are built around 5 bolt turbos, and when you try to make a 4 bolt fit, it just don't fit.

Its mainly on cast manifolds like the ugr. Just something to keep in mind because a lot of people don't know the 4 bolt and 5 bolt site differently.
