Looks like most of the parts, but they didn't name turbo brand, there isn't much piping and I don't think those headers will position the turbos in a good spot.

are you blind? most of the parts are missing. that kit is a joke. $3400 for that? most people sell that "kit" for about $1100 on ebay. having just fabricated my own turbo kit from scratch i can tell you that none of that piping will work. none of piping is shaped like that. also, i have 6-8 feet of just 3" piping, that kit has one short 3" piece.
i can rant all night on how that is not a kit and the price is rediculous. look up bgturbokits.com. they make a complete kit for $3000 and they use good quality parts.

I wasn't saying it was a complete kit, I was refering to the fast that the turbos, BOV, intercooler, gaskets, hose clamps and connecters were there. I didn't say it looked like a good kit.
