Those exhaust manifolds look like they will make the turbos sit very high, I dont think your hood would even close with those. They also cant seem to spell Garrett right, unless is some crappy knock off turbo. It all looks too much like the cheap SS autochrome stuff thrown into a big kit. I also am leary of the fact they dont show a picture of the kit actually installed on a vehical. now test results or customer testamonys. BBS designs has a proven kit for third gens and sells well known turbos with it. they are alittle more pricy but I think you will be betting on the sure thing.

Also scan the guys feed back, One guys said his turbos stuck up too high in his firebird and he couldnt shut the hood. buyer Beware.

Sure looks like a scam. It is a twin turbo kit with two different turbos in the picture. One small and one large. The headers look like the turbos sit way too high. All of the gaskets are different colors??? Never saw that before.
None of the turbo specs make sense for Garrett stuff. And the turbos don't say Garrett on them. The description says "Garrette gears"..........but turbos don't have gears. I would stay far far away from that action or any others like it.
Notice that "garrette" isn't a typo, it is used all over the place. It is a knock-off.
