$1500 for a complete twin setup? Ive never had one but I heard they are junk and didnt want to spend the money to find out. Even if the cold and hot side piping is ok, the turbos are probably junk.

piping is really thin but the turbos do hold up and i know 2 people running 14-20 psi thru them

Check out the turbo forum on corral.net. All the info you need. To sum up, ebay kits are garbage. Poor construction, weak tubing and the kits don't fit well. Save up and buy a good kit.

I saw that. Looks like an ebay special. Not worth the money.

depends on how capable you are on puttin parts together. i would only use the headers and the turbos. you should use a different intercooler to handle more power ive seen people use some of the ebay kits but you have to fab up your own down pipes and the intercooler they give you is not rated for the power you would be capable of having hope this helps

Those headers aren't a good quality and they often crack under the heat, better off using a stock log style manifold than those ones. You wil also find some big fitment problems on the turbos , usually passenger side. Tubing is to weak and thin. If you do the math you should know the kind of junk these kits are, $1500 won't even get you a quality air to air intercooler, wastegates, blow off valve and the turbos. For $1500 you are better off saving a little more and getting a B&G kit, Quicktime, or Hellion for a fox body.

The ebay intercooler kits work well though and they aren't too expensive. A couple friends of mine have them on their blower cars and the fit was very good and they perform as well as a procharger or paxton intercooler setup for a fraction of the cost.

They're generally junk. Although a friend of mine, found a never installed B&G kit at a really great price. If you shop on ebay, I'd look for wholesale kind of prices on name brand kits. I wouldn't trust anything else.
