I think you should do it Jerome and show us all what's up when you're pushing 400 WHP.

Lol the fuel management alone tells you that this thing is crap. Let alone a no name brand turbo who's seals would probably blow within the first 30 seconds on start up.

I think the only pieces that "MIGHT" be worth salvaging on a budget build would be the ic, ic piping, bov w/ flange, oil fittings, and maybe the wastegate. Everything else should get dumped.

None of it is worth salvaging. The turbo seals/bearing would go almost instantly, the IC is probably low efficiency, the piping is guaranteed to be low quality metal (hard to weld, easy to corrode)... and might you forget that a V6 is best suited for 2 turbos, especially since there's no room in the engine bay for a single turbo exhaust manifold / down pipe.

And don't even get me started on engine management. These kits are as big a scam as anything Billy Mays ever sold.
