CHEAP Turbo?

I saw this turbo, it says it's JDM, but it seems a bit cheap. What do you think the outcome would be with one of these?

Will not work out the way you would expect it to. Save your money for a proper setup. It's totally your decision but if you want what I think you might want from the 8, it will not come from this kit. If you buy this kit you will need other support/upgraded mods to meet expectations and this kit might end up being a completely different kit when it's all said and done. It is only then will you notice that a $1,000 FI kit will not get the job done and I'm not calling you cheap but cheap and power hardly co-exist depending on what car you have and what you want to get out of the car............

Otherwords, don't waste you money on this POS!!

You could always just swap the turbos from an rx7 and hook them up to the 8; that eBay listing looks somewhat shady
