1) Wasting money
2) you get what you pay for
3) Most likely won't fit
4) The amount of additional parts you have to get in order to actually make it work far exceeds any savings you think you might of made.

I would suggest looking up Trick, Nelson or KBracing, they are sponsors on here and they have made kits for I would think 60-70% of the members on here. Good, quality, they fit and they are complete.

I would spend a little bit more with a reputable builder. There are at least a cpl on here and have been mentioned. Also, it is supporting the site to support them!

not sure about the kits, but if you buy everything separate from ebay you can build a kit for under 800.

Some of the ebay cold piping kits are nice, decent quality stuff. The boost controllers, turbo's are more then likely junk.. I would not trust a log style or tube style manifold from some china joint.. Hell guys that build good kits have had issues with cracking and all.. Esp if it is polished stainless.. Just for ref, I had to buy a stainless Y pipe from LPP to cut up, make work on my header set up. My headers are a very reputable set of headers, are stainless 304, un polished.. The Y pipe is advertised to be polished 321 stainless, which is a better grade of stainless... Lets just say the polished( said to be 321) looks like *** now, compared to my American lower grade 304 stainless..
