Run and run away fast. You're buying youself some cheap components that will not last and undoubtedly not perform too well. If you want to go turbo, PM me as I can get you into a nice kit or help you go custom.

Looks like an obx style manifold. I read about a project where a guy was tired of hearing about all of the bashing of the ebay kits and picked one up just to try it out. It held out for quite a while and after several months, he still had no problems with the setup.
