This Wuero thinks you should go all in... and start a build thread so we can all see the progress. At that price it's a slam dunk. I mean, what's the worst that could happen????

If the fit and quality of fab are good, this kit looks pretty awesome to me... Garrett turbo and Tial gates, not much to complain about. Heat management might require some creativity. If the company has a good rep with their other kits (I have no idea), I'd say go for it!
I assume you can get a filter on that big a$$ snail.

Reuse the OEM exhaust manifolds Single, journal bearing turbo Less IC piping for a single topmount Looks like you'll be on your own to adapt your exhaust Aside from a turbo blanket, not much thought into heat management No fueling, tuning, or really any supporting mods at all It looks like a 'functional' kit and not really an 'engineered' kit, so there is going to be some more work and figuring out on your end and finishing your build. Compare to my kit (which unfortunately is no longer available) - which came with custom cast iron exhaust manifolds, CNC bent IC piping/cold air intakes, exhaust adapters to fit any off-the-shelf exhaust, custom stainless heat shields for the turbos and OEM fuel lines, shielded coolant lines in additional to braided oil/coolant turbo lines, intercooler setup that allowed for the crashbar (including a power steering cooler relocation),a high capacity oil pan with built in oil returns, upgraded injectors, fuel pump, and canned tune...not to mention ball bearing turbos (though I did get stuck with internal wastegates). Just a long way of saying, the more expensive options are MUCH more complete and thought out compared to this thing, which just does all the basic fab stuff for you and lets you figure out the rest.
