Default anyone seen this turbo kit?

I was just browsing the interwebs today when I stumbled upon this turbo kit for like every stang every made. Too good to be true I'm assuming, total junk parts or something? I don't know anything about turbo's and the price just seems sketchy to me! You experts let me know what's up!

edit: youtube video as well of install and junk

and the company posted a dyno video

Not seriously considering this just curious about it

You get what you pay for. Notice what stuff is listed on their "upgrade" list. based on that it looks like there is no fuel system upgrade in the kit, and you get the crappiest 70mm turbo that money can buy (if you want reliability and power, you want ball bearing and billet wheel, which you can upgrade to for about 600, then another 75 for a turbo blanket, looks like you're on your own for the heat wrap for the rest of the hot side. that's just to start. By their own admission the kit is not complete.

I can't say I've heard anything good about ON3 setups other than being low cost.

A top of the line turbo alone is more expensive than that 'kit'. I only use top quality parts on builds personally. Save up and get a kit with ball bearing turbo(s), stainless heavy enough not to crack welds, tial/turbosmart wastgates, bov, etc.

HP isn't cheap....

I seem to remember a thread last year with an ebay listing for these. I wouldn't You get what you pay for and if the turbo goes, so does your engine.
