Certainly seems cheap looking at the amount of stuff you get (gauges etc)..
No name turbo and kit though..

Check out this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260574790226) auction where they sell the turbo for US$125... :spew:

The GTO and ls1 ones are under $1k. Almost worth doing for the fun of it. Around $1500au landed for a twin turbo complete kit. Might be crap but if it lasts 6-12 months sell it without the turbos. Would atleast make the money back.

Its cheap because it has no way of mounting the turbo to the engine - no exhaust manifold, no crossover, and an intercooler pipe kit thats universal (not for a G8) :)

cheep until the engine shits itself due to boost spikes or an inpeller wheel

It says it's a twin turbo kit but the pic and text only show one turbo..
Why is there a battery relocation kit to "free up room in the engine bay"?

After reading it again, I think they just SPAM the same stuff on ebay, it's not actually for a G8....

theres heaps of different types some for about US $1000, i know there missing the manifold and cross pipe but everything else seems to look alright..

Cheap nasty and horrible. Its not a kit, but more a selection or guesstimate of parts required. It won't work without serious further investment. IE replace everything you get with good quality items.

does anyone notice it doesnt come with the exhaust manifold to connect to the turbo. i would put a guess at this so called system would make about 40rwhp more then stock.

Let's see here. A single T3/T4 hybrid on a 6.0L v8? Those turbos are better suited to 2-3L motors! That turbo is going to be horribly inefficient, will choke and possibly hurt the motor or overspeed the turbo. Either way it will not work well.
