It's too bad that guy went chrome crazy on the paint... most likely it is going to burn right off and leave a nasty looking white baked residue on anything that it has touched.

I wouldnt pay anymore then $400 for that set-up. To complete the kit you will need check valves, fuel pump, intercooler piping, intercooler, silicone boots, hose clamps, FMU, and it looks like all of the oil lines are not included as well.

My opinion is I wouldn't buy that not worth the money. If you want one I can have my friend send you pictures of one he is selling. Turbo, manifold, inter-cooler etc.

Don't know if that is such a great deal really.... but that guy sure does love his silver spray paint! Maybe I'm out of touch with this segment of the market but I would think you could do better than just a turbo and mani for $550+. Doesn't look like it has an external wastegate or 3" dp, both of which are advertised.
