Biggest problem would obviously be fitment, I would ask them for pics of it installed on a car.

Contact PrestoZ one of his friends had that kit for a while. Can't remember what it dynoed or if he dynoed it, but he changed his mind about FI and took the kit off I believe. The turbos that come with those kits are cheap, but you can always get better ones form Forced Inductions. The hot parts would be a good starting point on a buget build. IMO

The kit in his link is ONLY the hot parts, it does not include the turbos but I agree, it would be a good starting point

that add clearly says it does not come with the turbos, so you can put what ever you want on it!

Looks like the same thing people charge like $2500+ for. This price is more down to reality.
