They are awesome! Expect about 4 million horsepower to the wheels!

I agree. I would definately not buy one of those cheap turbos.

Rather than give you an elaborate answer or reason why not to buy it, I can sum it up in one word.

BOOM!

^^ Thats a bit overkill, but yes XS-power/SSautochrome turbos fail very quickly.

they work really well until the glue that holds them together starts breaking down lol.

i was just thinking about using the piping and just changing out the turbo to a stock one from the sr20

research a bit on www.ka-t.org. You can find a bottom mount manifold, use a t25/t28, smic w/ piping, sr injectors, sr o2 housing and downpipe, JGS oil feed and return lines, and a JWT/Enthalpy/Calum tune for like 1300-1600$ and have a decent, reliable system for 7 psi on your ka. You will see numbers there, dyno's, and reviews.

I wouldn't buy that kit, I'd piece one together.
