The turbo is made-in-China junk. It probably won't last long and could cause engine damage when it pops.
Even if you wante to run it, you still need a manifold, downpipe, FMIC, full fuel system upgrade, etc.

from my experience with china/ssautoshit products, they have definately upp'd their quality from when they first started. the key is when you get the product, take it all apart and inspect it. that was the problem with their wastegates that were known to fail.. all you had to do was take off the top and fix the diaphram before you put it on your car and they were great.
a couple years ago a mechanic i know did a budget turbo kit for a customer who wanted it as cheap as possible with all new parts. it was like 75% ebay and for a year it was all good. no idea what happened after the year, they just checked up on the owner and the car after a year.
