Seems to be a complete kit, but you'll want to use a FMU for fuel. Running the stock injectors at 7psi is just to risky in my book. One fluctuation in fuel pressure and you can kiss your motor good by.

It definitly doesn't get much cheaper then that. The turbo is probably a Chinese unit which requires a restrictor to keep the seals from leaking from over pressure. If the bushings crap out on you, you can rebuild it for pretty cheap...say $120 for a garret kit.

thanks for the info also isn't it a no no to run a blow off valve on a car with a MAF and not a MAP? so i would have to recirculate the blow off and i didnt see any hardware for oil cooling on the turbo. but this might be a good starter kit if it holds together.

The oil cooler isn't a must and most kits don't include one. The BOV needs to be recirulcated unless you want it to stall ALL the time and run like crap

If it holds together it's a good kit. I would recommend building the DIY Boost Limiter, there is a how-to in the FAQ.
