Still going to be expensive by the time you get it fitted and working.

I'm a mech and stainless / Ali fabricator so im okay however u right for other people plus from experience some garages don't like fitting 2nd hand kits off eBay and such don't care what anyone says if it goes bang they always come running back with the age old saying

Well u fitted it !!

If your serious about going FI you'll do it properly... And buy new

No point spending a fortune on 2nd hand stuff when its going to cost probably more on the long run, plus you dont know the history!

They are some good spares though if the price is right

looked like a bargain to me.. whats to go wrong here ? turbo is only thing really.. and it looked pretty new to me..

other than that just make sure theirs no cracks in the pipework and manifold etc...

rest would be just new gaskets.. probably wouldnt buy it blind and without a viewing or a load of requests for detailed pics etc
