Looks like an eBay kit, looking at the way they lay out their kit on the pictures lol.

Depends, people have had their goods and bad times with eBay kits. It's really a hit or miss, most likely a miss. The exhaust manifold will crack, or the turbo will break, it's just something that will come up.

i had one of there old school bov on my probe when i bought it. it sounded pretty decent. as for there turbo kits ect... i don't know much about them, but they've been around for a while, so i would take that into consideration. you should ask this in the fi forum too i'm sure someone has used them before.

Ebay turbo kits are all junk...search the Forced Induction forum once and you will see all the pictures of failed setups. The wastegates don't hold boost the greatest, the manifolds crack in half and the turbos have been known to puke oil after as little as 15 minutes of driving. Some people have good luck with them, but take it from me, you're a lot better off with a name brand part unless you like fixing things constantly. If those turbo setups were quality, why then would I have spent $1100 on a new turbo alone? Quality...that's why
