Ebay kits, for the most part, are garbage. If I were you, I'd hit up homemadeturbo.com, read up a bit on what it takes to put a turbo build together, and then source the parts you need individually. You'll spend a bit more than that kit on ebay, but you'll have more reliable parts.

depending on how you sorce parts you could spend the same or even less.
i built my LS engine with a turbo for about $500
that to say i did get a killer deal, spending only $150 on injectors, turbo, manifold, wastetgate, bov. that's because i managed to talk a guy with a dsm into selling me all those partsfor that much.
then i also fabbed the charge pipes and downpipe myself, costing $100 or so in parts
www.johnnyracecar.com intercooler ran me $165
and then i spent the rest on tuning
