A decent turbo setup, after install and tuning typically runs at the VERY least $6K - usually it's in the 8-10K range.
So...ask yourself, if you find a setup that costs 10% of that, and on eBay, let alone a reputable company's website, do you find that at all suspicious?
That's on top of the fact that you're going to need to fab a bunch of custom parts for that turbo kit - it will not simply just bolt on.
Now that I've wasted about 30 seconds of my life pointing out the dead obvious, I hope you refrain from making posts like this again in the effort of saving the precious life-time of other people...

SHot in the dark I guess. I never wanted to do FI in all seriousness, to expensive and I need a DD>
My thoughts on this would be a cheap easy way to get 6 psi and HP/TQ for my car and would not kill my engine aka still be very reliable. Thnaks for the straight up answers no moeny will be waisted.
Thinking about getting an M2 exhaust, or should I save the money for a stillen, nismo or motordyne???

When the tune for the kit costs more than the kit. You've got a problem.

And seeing that this turbo kit is $500, it was probably made in China. In the basement of a bakery/dim sum store.
Be sure to ask them if the turbo only comes in Excessive Shaft Play (ESP) edition or do they have the Notthatmuch Shaft Play (NSP) edition.
Either way, I'm sure you get a free fortune cookie with your oder.
good luck!

the ebay kit is not a bad starter at all, piping is piping and an intercooler is the same **** as your greddy for the most part, the only part u dont wanna put on is the wastegate and turbo they are a pos. ive bought many ebay kits and upgraded wastegate and turbo, with supporting mods, inj, fp, ect.... but its a cheaper starting point and you can find good name brand turbos and wastegates used for a decent price on here or craigslist, but not for a typical person to take on the task. just my opinion
