The idea with his kits is knock off parts reduce cost.
- HKS 50mm race 750hp style wastegate
- Greddy style pulley set with belt
- Greddy type RS style blow off valve
He seems like a sales guy. Reasonably knowledged, so i give him credit there.
You have to ask yourself how he can sell those parts for that cheap. And then wonder if inexpensive knock offs can hold up.
For me, i dont have enough single turbo experience to tell you the quality difference.

Um, not that cheap. You can put together your own getting the parts and using brand name stuff.
For example, I have seen and I currently bought a used HKS manifild and 44mm wastegate for $300 shipped. A new name-brand turbo is $600-$1400 and used ones are for sale on the forum all the time. U dues down pipe is $100-$300....
You can put together a better kit for the same or less so why bother?

Ok so your going to pay $2287 for a kit that will need more fittings and better lines, is a junk chinese manifold and knock off WG with mild steel DP.... Or you can have a A-spec kit with a-spec manifold and DP, both stainless, both warranted for as long as you own them, Precision 62mm billet turbo, Precision WG and much nicer lines and fittings any gaskets needed for $2275. Hmmmmm....... guess I'm missing something here 
Granted I don't include the BOV or the other knockoff stuff but you are getting a product that is light years over the cheap chinese stuff as well as support that I'm sure wont melt away once you win the auction.

Not worth it man...... it's all junk.... If your really gonna shell out almost 3k for a knockoff kit you might as well spend an extra 500 on name brand stuff that is proven to be reliable,... Name brands are usually testaments of their quality,...if you have a knockoff turbo...who'se to take the blame when it throws inducer blades into your motor, scars up your housings and trashes your motor/turbo set up.. On top of that....I could almost guarantee whatever Knock-ff WG it comes with will half *** regulate your boost... Totally not worth it man.. you could probly pick up a Used kit in the for sale section cheaper and with better brand quality than anything else..
