I've researched almost every kit available. The general consensus on that ebay kit is that it doesn't fit without modification. You will be much better off with a truck manifold kit like this one if you do not have the skills to do your own fabrication:

It might seem like it costs more than the ebay kit you are looking at but it comes with an intercooler and a prefabbed cold side. Once you add everything up this kit will save you time and money...not to mention that truck manifold systems are proven

I have the PTK kit that is similar to the one posted on ebay that I am installing on my car right now and so far I have no real complaints.

I did choose to run the tc78 turbo so I had to make my own downpipe for the kit but other than that it's been perfectly fine for me so far. If you have some fabrication skills and know what to expect heading into the kit I think it's a very good option. I've seen a few guys make well over 600whp with the kit with a 76mm turbo so it seems to be right on par with the truck mani kits in terms of efficiency.

V bands does not mean leak free connections. Not one bit!

Yes it needs work to fit in trucks and yes it can leak.
