No Tuning is one thing. I am guessing all those parts are knock-offs too, not actual name brands. That isn't to say the parts are cheap, but there is the chance. Try it out, let us know what happens.

the turbos from this company are known to fall apart. they literally fall apart into multiple pieces within several hundred miles.

remember the phrase 'you get what you pay for', this is one of those cases.

it consists of:
exhaust manifold
turbo
blowoff
some gaskets


it lacks:
all piping, couples,oil lines,crankcase ventilation,vacuum lines, all engine and drivetrain mods that have to be there to support 15 psi boost, engine software, etc,etc


turbo is who knows what quality, same is manifold and blowoff

you would be more happier if you spend that money on your gf or wife, fi prices begin from 5-6 grand plus installation if you lack tools and experience,
10-12 grand will give you very nice setup
