Default OBX turbo kit

Im looking at this Ebay turbo kit for my 2000 Firebird ls1 auto. Looking for some feedback if anyone has install one of these units, does it fit just right or are some adjustments needed? Im aware of relocating the alt.

Any feedback or links to finished installed pics would be helpful.

that looks like a hot side kit, youd still have to put something together for the cold side.

if you want to send me an email, I can give you a price on one of our fbody kits, you can retain all the factory accessory locations, factory sway bar, radiator mounting, k member (with our non AC kit) etc.

I can get you a price together with a nice turbonetics turbo, oil lines, blanket, filter, wastegate and BOV if you wish. not only would you be choosing a great product, but our customer service comes with it! cant beat it!

if you are interested, send me that email and lets talk!

Keep in mind that the cross over pipe on that OBX kit runs kinda low underneath between the oil pan and bellhousing, you will smash that everytime you hit a speed bump if you are not extremely careful, you can't lower your car at all. Chances are that it will have some fitment issues and probably with no customer support at all to help you out. I would stay away from it if I were you.

Thank you for the replies.
I have a rear mount setup at the moment thought of putting turbo up front without changing too much and without removing A/C.
Other wise just cosmetic and doesn't have to be done, the kit advertised looked interesting and if it was just a simple bolt on I would consider it. The cold side would be worked in as well, I have enough piping.
