    I say no. I talked to that guy at race city, he has an old turbo celica that blew up that day. He works at a machine shop and builds everything himself. The manifold is not what you think. Its a block of steel that he has machined holes into at an angle so the manifold looks like a big block of metal and he has made the blow off valve in the same way. He also has never tested any of this. He just bought an old civic to test fit everything on but never ran it. And its a junkyard T3 off a Saab and its old and you will have to rebuild it before you can use it anyways. I'm sure that if you look and wait for deals you can peice a good quality kit together for around the same $$.
