I'd be real cautious of buying that. the price is bargain-basement, but when it comes to a component like a turbocharger you're best going name-brand in my opinion. you are looking at a decent amount of time/money in labor spent to install the kit, and if it fails on you then you are back to square one. the intercooler has a possibility of being a good deal, but no way to tell until you attempt to install it.

Correct me if i'm wrong but that manifold looks like its an obx one... and they crack.. my friend bought a kit from ebay and 1 month after installing his kit the mani cracked.... thats the only reason i don't buy a kit from them.... or parts... and they crack right at the welds.. high quality my ***.. so yeah.. and if you look on ebay you can find one kit for 599 i believe. turbo, mani, bov, waste gate and other things..

Stay away from ebay turbos. I have had 2 cars in the shop recently with those turbos and they failed after a few hundred miles.

If you are on a budget we have this kit: http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/62-1%20kit.htm
Comes with higher quality turbo than you get on ebay.

i wouildnt buy any part from ebay more than 500, unless u KNOW its a high quality part, and from a very reputable seller. its not worth the risk.
i would say save save save...arent some gt35r kits around 2500? thats not bad
...or arent some poeple on here selling slightly used kits? i see em from time to time
