Well i myself haven't had one or know anyone who has one but the truth with these kits from what i've heard is that you get what you pay for and what usually goes first is the turbo manifold because of the weak welds.IMHO you'd save more money and headaches in the longrun if you buy quality turbo parts especially the actual turbo charger itself because that is something you can't skimp on as badly as say a bov. Although you may have to piece together your parts piece by piece or paycheck by paycheck but in the end you'll have a reliable, powerful, fun system that was worth the time, labor and money you invested but then again it does depend on how you've built your motor and what psi, tuning, assembly so alot of things go into play..but good luck with whatever route you decide to go into.
