i would also be worried about the manifold itself. it doesnt appear to ahve any bracing to help hold that turbo up. and the flanges dont seem very thick. this would be the concern besides the turbo's quality and the wastegate. usually nice pieces that last are expensive and there is a reason for it. but over all the kit doesnt look bad. but i would be concerned about what i and others have mentioned

I'm willing to bet that manifold will crack and the turbo will blow a seal. If you don't see the homemade craftsmanship then I don't know what to tell you. You should seriously consider not modifying your car for a while until you learn the ropes. This is the best advice your going to get.
