Icon3 is the turbonetics kit on ebay worth it???

here is the website for the kit?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-95...Q5fAccessories

I know this has been posted up already but it didnt have that many replies so i wanted to hear more about what people think about this kit? so those of you out there who dont want to answer this question please dont complain. from the other reviews they say that this kit isnt the real turbonetics kit because only the blow off valve and the turbo is turbonetics, also some say that this kit is pretty good for what its worth and that it still gives you the right kind of power. i plan to have it professionally tuned, just want to make about a 50 hp gain. I have a 96 acura integra gsr bone stock. please help me out, those of you who have good turbo knowledge.

Stear clear from no-name generic crap. If you cut corners and buy shitty parts, expect to pay twice in the long run.

That kit looks like a generic POS eBay kit, but with a mid-level Turbonetics T3, not worth $1500.

Check out www.homemadeturbo.com

You can get some good deals and get an idea on how to piece together a kit.

Ya know, there are just as many guys running those Ebay turbo's that don't have problems than those who do.

It's a 50/50 thing it seems.

Here's the link to the Forced induction FAQ.
