Don't know but likely not too good. For a few of reasons, but the 2 main ones are 1) it's too cheap, and i don't mean by a little bit and 2) they don't even have pictures of the actual rb kit, and the kit they have pictured doesn't even have a 38mm wastegate, it has a copy of a 50mm hks gate so straight away you aren't getting that gate.

And the rest, because it's probably worth noting anyway. no specs on the turbo, they claim horsepower ranges from 220rwkw up to 550hp or so, it talks about running it in the stock location which says it's internally gated maybe? I dunno, also 5 bolt flange, again a bit odd, the 38mm gate they are offering is probably an hks copy which sell for around 200 bucks. The genuine article is 700 on it's own. So basically that leaves 500 for a turbo and a manifold, of which neither can be of any high standard when you consider the price of branded equivalents, or even copy equivalents.

Is that enough to convince you it's not worth buying? I haven't even talked about the cost of fitting yet....

Seen that my self, and it did cross my mind for a split second I must admit. I mean, at that price anyone is tempted.

But you have to look past the price, and see what your paying for, and how much.

For that price, it seriously couldn't be that good, and when it comes down to turbos & ex gates, you really do get what you pay for!

Your probably better off just sticking with the standard manifold, and getting a high flow turbo, or a GARRETT after market, which will also bolt up to standard manifold, and stay low mount.

Heaps of options now days, no need to buy the cheap shit.
