I'll run through this a little for you this is what I think the parts are worth just on what I have seen and what I would be willing to be for no name parts
Turbo- no name, it might work it might break in 2 days $100 Wastegate - looks like a replica of the star/treadstone manifold not bad worth maybe $200 FMIC (& piping) - small but not bad for a few psi, worth maybe $250 MBC - who knows might work well might not worth $10-$50 Wastegate - knockoff might work but not where I wanna skimp on a turbo system we'll put it at $100 BOV - pretty much same as the wastegate, we'll put it at $50
Who knows you might get it and it works well for you, personally I wouldn't chance it and would just piece together my own kit out of both used/new parts
With this kit at the minimum you would still need... Walbro 255lph $95 12:1 FMU $50-$100 FCD or Missing Link $25-$60 Downpipe $100-$250 Oil line kit (not listed or shown) $50-$100 Will need to tap your oil pan Oil pan gasket $25-$35 Gauges: boost/egt $200
That's all I can think of for now
I contributed to the Wiki! EVO IX - just a really expensive boost gauge and a K&N air filter 96 Eclipse RS -awaiting registration and inspection 95 Eclipse GS - parts car Mods/Profile - http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=cs82685

I bought my manifold from these people and I like the quality of it. I only paid $183 for it I believe. My friend had the Treadstone manifold and I had this one and they were very comparable with each other.
I would not buy their whole kit though. You can save money by not getting that and piecing together your own in the long run. You *might* save money up front with this kit, but that turbo is just asking to go out a week after you put it on, BOV leaking, wastegate malfunctioning, etc.

Better yet don't ever buy any car parts on Ebay. If you can't find it at Summit racing it's probably crap. Spend money wisely once or you'll spend it twice.
