Default T3/T4 Turbo on eBay

Hey, I'm new to the forums here and I'm looking to either turbo or supercharge my tC. I was looking at some kits on eBay and I saw this T3/T4 Turbo Kit and I was just wondering why its so cheap? Is it a knock-off kit or something?

First of all, always always remember that eBay promises big things and seldom delivers. 95% of all performance car parts that are cheap on eBay are cheap, low quality knock-offs, or bold face lies. Case in point: Awesome performance chip for Scion tC That being said, it is a turbo, and it is an intercooler, and it is a manifold. However, since it's a low quality eBay kit, you can bet the intercooler is very low grade, and the manifold probably won't fit right. Which means you're paying $1200 for a no-name turbo, some pipe, fittings, and a wastegate with a .4 bar spring. Oh and a BOV which can be anything you want, apparantly.

Don't buy from eBay unless they tell you all the part models and manufacturers, especially of the big components, or it's so cheap you can drop it and not blink when it doesn't work. :D
