well the piping and downpipe were made for a civic probally so they'd become useless probally. The bov and wastegate i would NOT trust. Name brand is a must in a turbo build. I have seen many turbo car's running on ching chang turbos. Run it if you want.

You could use the turbo, and the intercooler, coupler[depending on how good theyre made], clamps.

Every part from that ebay link is made in China. If your lucky, it will work. Does'nt have a reputation of reliability. If you dont want to spend $1000 for a real turbo, then I'd suggest a used OEM turbo off a DSM or WRX or some thing like.
