Knock off junk obviously, but sometimes that junk does work.

4 words --- looks cheap as hell!!!

I would recommend investing in a bit nicer of an intercooler. If you are putting it on chances are you will be doing something else later, whether or not you plan to doesnt matter, boost is addicting.

I say spend another 50-100 dollars and find a nicer ebay set, with better quality piping, that way you should not have to worry about the overall quality holding up for future addons.

but if you like it its your money so spend it on what you want.

That's the one I was thinking of getting.

looks better than a SMIC & the price is right. The BOV is assuredly an RS knockoff, but it might actually work at least for a while. That intercooler looks like it'd support ~250hp no problem

at 200 bucks, you might want to look at that just for the piping. Regardless of how crappy alot of the ebay stuff can be, how the hell does someone eff up piping? Now with that said, you could consider the rest of the kit as bonus. I'd dump that bov that they supply with that kit.
