I love how the turbo has no casting marks whatsoever.
Those charge pipes look very cheap as well.I think that the alpine kit looks like a million dollars compared to that mess of parts

That's the 97-01 tib OBX manifold that's been around for like 8 years.

Are you serious???
That's just a bunch of Ebay parts all in one auction. You can get those all separately for hundreds less on Ebay.
Manifold: $175
No Name Turbo/Lines: $120 -150
Piping/Coupler/Clamp Kit: $75
Knock off HKS BOV: $50
MBC: $6
That totals well under $500 (excluding shipping, of course). I'm sure some people will go for it though.

i'll go for it, then go to my old high school and re-sell it for $2,000! the number of Ricers at that school has skyrocketed since i graduated 3 years ago.

I love how it says it comes with a cast iron manifold when in fact it looks to be an OBX one or a knock OBX one. Also there is no way that's a bolt on kit. There's to ubend pipes that will have to be cut to fit. The turbo wastegate actuator will smack against the crank sensor and oil press sending unit. Not to mention that is most definately a T3/T4 knock off that WILL fail on on the first boosted run. (don't ask me how I know this for a FACT)
BUYER BEWARE!!

Kinda like the alpine unit.There is nooo room behind the actuator.I had to remove the plastic protector from my ckp sensor.Oh and not to mention grind away a good portion of my trans bellhousing to get the actuator to clear.

lolll
I don't think that kit is cheap, for what it is it's in fact pretty steep! ... I'm sure you can find locally a used kit similar to that one from a DSM ... around here a guy is selling his 20g with oil lines, downpipe, HKS 40mm wategate (and maybe an O2 sensor ... it's in the pictures but not in the description) for 800$ nego ... now THAT'S a deal! loll

Downpipes are custom 90% of the time anyways.
It's like saying ''has anyone noticed there's no boost gauge included?''

downpipe = essentail
boost guage = not. just very handy.

Not really, no need for a downpipe for the setup to function.
Something like a manifold is essential.
