Do you actually know any thing about these turbos or is that just a shot in the dark.
Ill give you a bit of info on them all the 16t/18t/19t etc all use the same charger inlet housing but are machined out differently to allow for a bigger compressor wheel, this kit is great for some one wanting to upgrade but cannot afford a full turbo.
The housing is all ready to accomadate the larger 19t compressor wheel and looks to have a bigger inlet port and come with a brand new acuator so yes its a very good deal if you can get a turbo company to build it for you or build it your self and have it balanced.

i found re building my turbo fairly easy, using a how to guide with pics. its finding someone who will just balance the turbo. in the end i just put it back on the car and hoped for the best.

No not an expert but have looked at prices of Turbos and threads on here about such.....so yes does look a cheap alternative.... but thanks for info

The housing is the wrong shape to mount the actuator in the right place so you will need to fabricate a suitable bracket or just get the original housing or have one machined.
