I wouldn't waste the money. Most if not all of these no-name turbo/super charger kits from eBay are crap. Fitment issues, cracking flanges, and sub par quality usually make these kits a complete nightmare... My experience is coming from my old Honda days...

its a turbocharger not supercharger kit. as much as i agree with 99gs4

the manifold looks like the xs power manifold (250ish from xs) which a few guys around here run with no problems, the turbo probably crap but will get you started with low boost it's an external gate set up which is always a plus. so you get starter parts for an extra 400 bucks now you need an inter-cooler, bov, and all the piping not to mention fuel management
