it's a single turbo set up and beign carbed you have to do a blow through app and it doesn't even come with a carb top from what i can see..

 

its still butt cheap.

 

I bet that's a real high quality turbo.... lol

 

correct, but i believe in you get what you pay for. theres a lot of good and bad written about that turbo on the web, but for 850 you cant really complain.

 

But even if the turbo goes bad, you have a working intercooler and headers and all the piping for $850.. then just get a better turbo.

 

If the turbo is cheap, do you really think the headers are well built? How about the BOV and wastegate? I'm sure the piping and couplers are fine- maybe the IC too if they just went with a generic cheapo- but I wouldn't want to screw with trying to find out where the weak spots are in the setup.

 

Thats true, but you really cant mess that kind of thing up besides fitment, and if its low quality you would see where its eroding or anything.

 

BOV and wastegate are probably low quality junk- no real way to tell how long they'll last or how reliable they'll be until you try them.

As for headers- there are lots of potential problems with cheap ebay headers- look at the cheap 3800 headers. I've seen cracking, pinholes in the welding, bad fitment, extra welding slag inside.

You just couldn't expect to buy a setup like that, slap it on, and be good to go for years of reliable performance.
