suprastore is apparently pretty flaky, i haven't looked at your link yet, but just about everything on suprastore is an unlabeled "something else" and is sold elsewhere for the same price. I don't think suprastore has any parts that you can't get from a reputable site.

that turbo kit is an XS Power turbo kit, the same kits you find on ebay. If you wanted to mess with that, just buy it from XS Power themselves. his forum is

clubna-t.com

NO you get what you pay for and a cheap turbo kit is like a cheap hooker.

It may not be on ebay BUT it is foreign parts that ebay sells. If you read the description it says US marketed Asian produced products at a great price. that pretty much means knock off products. all of thier stuff says "compare to" for things like HKS BOV, or blitz BOV and if you see a T61 its more than likely a knockoff turbo.

now on the other hand, 2jz guys seem to have great luck with these products, I have seen many a 10 and 9 second car running some of these parts.

If you go to clubna-t you can get the same kit cheaper and with the gurantee and you're not dealing with suprastore.com which is a big plus. I ran a XS kit on my old MKIV and it was a GREAT kit. Never had a single problem with it. Ran it for about 20,000 miles before I picked up my SC,

Mark's a great guy to deal with too. Very helpful and nice
