anyone know what some thing complete like this would cost from a better quality maker? Ball park figure?

^ if everything quality expect to spend about 3000$ plus tuning (another 500$ or so) but u can part together a used kit for alot cheaper!

ebay turbos can be good if broken in right... manifolds on the other hand can be bad. i have never owned an ebay turbo but have a few friends who have them and they have had no complains. i have an ebay manifold and i had it crack like non other. i just re-welded it and water tested and now no problems. As for the intercooler pipe, i have an ebay car specific kit and it fit good just had to have the hot pipe welded for my turbo.

i just had a whole lot of cracks in the manifold. i re-welded everything and now need new gaskets.

but welds make the manifold weaker

Not necessarily, usually wells dont break in the same spot
