I was browsing ebay, and I came accross this. For the price, $800, you seem to get your moneys worth. I dont think I would trust the manifold, but the gate, BOV, Turbo and intercooler and pipes alone would be over $1000.Has anyone ever purchased one of these before?I was thinking about getting it for the intercooler, WG and BOV. The price is still worth it for those 3 items.let me know what you think.thanks.- Kyle

I know their manifolds are garbage, but would that really matter for the intercooler, WG and BOV?I didnt plan on using the mani or the turbo, I would prolly put those back on ebay...

Everyone says this, but mine is still holding up just fine.

Seems like they hold up ok if you use a flex pipe and don't mount a ginormous turbo on them. And also seems like it's as simple as you either get a good one or a bad one, with no consistency.

KATwo40would you purchase a kit like this?

Where else can I get a BOV, WG, IC with pipes, turbo and manifold for $800?
