Re: good deal on ebay..
The seller probably got it from SSAC thinking it was a great deal, then got flamed on some site for it, and now he's selling it before something breaks.
Not too bad of a deal, if you replace the manifold with something else, and make sure the turbo's bolts are all tight and not glued together. That's if you get it for under the buy it now, at $700 or so. You can sell the intercooler for close to that.

Re: good deal on ebay..
It is SSAC, well more accurately it is XS power.
The manifold for sure, you need to replace, and you would have to remember they are still cheap quality, done with bad materials.
I'm sure you could get more than $700 if sold separate and on local boards, where people don't know crap about SSAC and their products.
Like I said before, you could use the intercooler, the pipes are more like a few bends that you would have to make fit togheter not a bolt on kit. The turbo should hold okay, but will not last as long as a better brand name one. The wastegate will probably fail after some use, and you risk blowing up your car. The manifold will definately crack.
If you want to have to check your setup every few days to make sure everything is still under the hoof and working, is not too bad.
If you want to not have to worry about things, spend your money better.
