Default simple Q this a good deal?

getting a turbo setup,
from manifold to downpipe, for $350

it's an hf manifold,
with a custom adapter plate(i believe its one of those cnc machined ones),
14b turbo(he says its in "clean as hell")
2.5" downpipe

I think its a really fuking good deal.

it's great if it's really "clean as hell" but all turbo's online are "clean as hell" so good luck.

ok cool.
so I think its probly a good deal.

its not bought "online" though,
more through an acquaintance,

I met the guy when I sold him some wheels,
then he sold me a camshaft, and helped me out with
anwering my infinite unwavering flow of questions, hahahaha.

now hes getting his "dreamcar" an mr2 turbo ,so hes parting out his turbo hatch.
I drove in his car when he first installed the turbo,
so I know it runs, although he was only boosting 5lbs at the time, and it was lagging like hell due to his boost controller setup(didnt hit full boost till 5k)
but he says at 7psi it his full b at 2.5/3k and is fun as hell.

he def seems to be very honest,
i've been burned in the past so I dont REALLY trust anyone anymore, but so far hes been nothing but trustworthy.
