A lot of people are using these. The O2 Housing has proven to add some decent power. Its a good buy. The turbo manifold is not as great a mod. It doesnt provide much power and is prone to cracking.
For the price, if you really want it, get it, but it might crack on you later. Also some have cracked where it wasnt visible at all and wasnt noticed until, for whatever reason, the manifold was removed. The steel is very thin.
Just a heads up.

Those ebay mani's are junk. when a manifold heats up and cools down at such extreme temps its gotta be built correct and those are not. they have and will crack. do you want your expensive turbo to just fall off the car?

If you do end up buying it, they provide gaskets, which are horrible. Use the mitsu gaskets.
If it is more of a cosmetic upgrade, then you should know that the finish does not last. It will eventually burn away the chrome finish. If I did get one, I'd get it coated with Swain Tech, helps performance and looks badass.

I would personally not buy it. I am a fan of eBay, but not for car parts. I personally buy and sell hundreds of items a year but in the long run, the quality is usually less unless brand name... and if i were to be putting this on my car, i would definitely make sure it won't be cracking. Get the real thing. No one wants to be driving the car and wonder when something will go wrong...
