There's one or two of these around here. Fit and finish wasn't the best, if I recall correctly, but it wasn't horrible. I'm pretty sure the turbo needed to be replaced, though. Not exactly what I'd would do, but, hey, if you're on a real tight budget..........

I've seen there mustang kit and actually the weld and finish quality looks very good. Biggest problem is it made with a low grade of thin stainless that will crack very quickly and its a low quality turbo too.

If I was to go f/i, this wouldn't be my route. I would spent the money. Down the road though
