ching chong turbo, manifold that will crack, thin piping for dp that will probably break (assuming that it fits in the first place), ching chong BOV that is hit and miss, and a wastegate that will stick and smoke an engine assuming the turbo kit will hold up long enough to actually see boost.

The sort of person who can assemble a $400 kit is either lucky, or has paid their dues with a half dozen migraines.
