Dude, its more of a basic turbo parts kit. i mean generic like you have to fit it to your application and it doesnt have a turbo manifold as it's not meant to be a vehicle specific kit. Also as far as i know ball bearing turbos are supposed to be better and its not listed as a ball bearing turbo, its says wet float bearing which doesnt sound like its ball bearing but it could be. All in all this is a bare bones kit
That is definitley a generic kit. But for what you are getting for the money, its worth it. But dont forget, you still have to have a manifold made, and all your intercooler piping cut and rewelded for the car. Those are your basic bends and you would have to cut and fab your own piping. But I bet you all the piping you would need is there.

I know a guy who put one of those chinese turbo's on his civic (he got his from ebay-ssautochrome). The compressor housing split in half within three months. The cast job on it was s bad it just fell apart.
I installed this exact setup that my friend bought from this guy on ebay, there was a lot of installing things that had to be changed, but the turbo is great he has about 50,000 miles on the car with the turbo kit and It only has a little shaft play, which isa normal for a turbo with 50,000 miles on it. Other than that the car is still runnin fine.
