Your right Fly, I've not had experience with a turbo kit because I've learned from a lot of other peoples mistakes. Anyone I know would laugh at the idea of running an eBay turbo on any of their cars. Why would anyone want to take a risk with something so important, your cars engine.
And would you use this type of kit on your 600hp 1JZ, Fly?

my only issue is that if the OP is posing this question about if this is a good deal/ kit, then he has little to no experience in building/driving/or taking care of a turbo car and for that reason alone i say not to buy this kit until the op sees what we are all talking about as far as quality
but, it his own money and time going to be invested. the turbo kit could last as long as he owns the car or it could break 500 miles into the kit. i can't tell you what will happen. I would rather have someone get turned away from going turbo then to see someone upset cause their 900+install mod blew up on them.

Well, the sad part is, we can argue all day with eachother. But the OP is going to do what he wants anyway, and is probably not going to listen to our arguing, although all statements were true. eBay turbos, not really a good idea. Some work, some don't. Simple. Brand name ballin' *** money dropping turbonetics ****? It's gonna work. They even replace it if your dumbass blows it up street racing a gtr. If you spend less on your turbo than it takes to put new brakes on your car... Just give up.
Unless you buy my turbo... =P
Maybe I'll turbo my cb7 coupe.

I knew the answer was going to be a no I was just curious to see what you guys will say. I just looked it up because I have a HKS bov just chilling in my basement I wont waste the money on a turbo I'd rather do a 6spd swap on a j30 not j32 not worth it in my opinion its not going to compete with stis, evos, srt4s, g35s anyway

As a guy with a v6 accord, I say do not turbo a v6 accord.
Especially with that crap. Theirs a kit on ebay somewhere that works but all the piping has to be replaced cause the piping they give is ****.
Regardless, not worth blowing your tranny earlier then it will already blow.
