how about you buy it, play with it and tell us about it miserably failed to function right..
honestly though, its a hit or miss..i've seen and helped put together some cheap ebay turbo setups and some have held up where as others have just failed...
you can try piecing together a turbo via ebay..like the piping and coupling and other small things are a safe call but the actual turbine i wouldn't trust ebay with..nor would i trust the manifold..

Honestly, there hit or miss as far as reliability is concerned. If you plan to do it i would hope you have some fabrication skills, time to dick with poor fitment, and the know how to maintain it. The kits can work but is NOT a simple bolt on install.
Its often more beneficial to save for a respectable kit thats going to be much more full proof than to MAY need to show constant attention to something like this one.

the intercoolers are functional - just not up to efficency as the name brand ones.
the cast manifolds are also functional. they dont crack.
waste gates do fail from time to time.
get a tial !
the piping is good for the bends and couplers and t bolts
the turbo is not a bad item just make sure you buy a turbo from a seller that offers a warranty.
everything else is just up to how you use it!!!!
