It's very incomplete. Lacks a fuel solution, piggyback of some form, header, dp. Intake/charge piping would need customization, too.

Some key (bad) language in that auction: CUSTOMER IS REQUIRE TO CUSTOM MAKE A TURBO MANIFOLD AND DOWN PIPE FOR THIS SET UP, THIS IS A SET WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING U NEED TO MAKE YOUR CAR TURBO

Ebay tip I live by.....if the Engrish iz bad on part 4 sales, please 2 avoide.

Which means.... exactly what Otter said.

Unfortunately, that's a hard way to judge since poor grammar and spelling are considered acceptable on teh intarwebs.

Maybe so, But it shows lack of professionalism in the end. Still a good rule of thumb IMO.

Ultimately, everything being sold is new and the seller has good feedback. It could be a decent option for someone who can weld and built their own manifold and exhaust piping. You still have to spend at least $1k over that to get the other stuff you need, $2k if you need to pay someone else to build the exhaust parts.

Then again, if you could do all that yourself, I'd say just assemble a kit from scratch and build it just how you want it.

I beg to differ, it merely shows a partial understanding of the english language. Pretty much all foreign people, whether English is their second, third, or even fourth language, exhibit some sort of misunderstanding or complete lack of knowledge about something we discuss. Some words are completely new to my friend Bert, who is from Belgium, although he could certainly for a proper sentance using correct tense most of the time.

In other words, just because they can't speak fluent English does not mean they are illegitimate listings.

i was looking at that kit and i have an idea we should ask someone who bought the kit how it was...so i looked through the feedback thing for the seller and found a guy that bought it i think his username was u-go-boy or something like that anyway i was going to ask but i use my girlfriends ebay account and shes not here right now so hopefully someone else can take the initiative and debunk the quality on this ****

I was referring to the talking in internet l33t talk as far as professionalism.

I'm sure it was sold as a complete kit though... this thing is missing a pile of stuff. Basically all of the hard stuff.
