Checkered Flag Cheap Turbo Kit......2 Good 2 Be True?!?

I was looking on Ebay and found a company that has a turbo kit for the Saturn Ion but does not display it on their website. The kits on the site are ranging in price around $1200 USD. This almost sounds to good to be true. What do you think? Would I be wasting my money?

Ebay Ad:

Company Site:
http://www.godspeedproject.com/store...index&cPath=16

Sincerely,

raverMJK

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

Quoted from the auction:

Quote:
CUSTOMER IS REQUIRE TO CUSTOMIZE A TURBO MANIFOLD AND DOWN PIPE FOR THIS SET UP, THIS IS A SET WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING U NEED TO MAKE YOUR CAR TURBO ( THIS ALSO REQUIRE A OIL RETURN LINE)
So basically, its just a turbo, intercooler, BOV, wastegate, and some pipes.

i don't even need to read your post. thread title alone says "yes, 2 good 2 be true". end of story.

a turbo kit that will last and won't blow your **** up, is never "cheap" - gotta pay to play.

edit: correction - an F/I kit that will last and won't blow your **** up is never cheap.
