Ebay Turbo Kit 5F-SE, I'm just wondering if anyone has used one of the all-inclusive kit Options

I was surfing around for a header for my 5f-se, and came across rediculous deals on these kits. I'm assuming it's because they are a total piece of junk, however, I figured I would post up and see if anyone has installed one of these.

I'm still leaning toward the 1mz swap myself, but maybe to keep me entertained until then I could add this,

'though I think the real problem, which I've seen in several threads around here is that the 5sfe isn't really built strong enough to take much turbo abuse.
unless you want to take the thing apart and put race components in the bottom n such. which after all I've read about the beams swaps, you just as well
go ahead and put the 6cyl in it's probably easier. but if you're just looking for cheap thrills in the mean-time, and you've got money to play with wth you can another 5sfe down at pick-n-pull for $500

Not by a long shot. The BEAMS is as easy as a swap gets.

The 5S is actually a very boost-friendly motor, but tuning is an issue. I agree with with all of the above, if the end goal is a V6 or any other engine swap and you know when it will happen, then the turbo kit would be a good bit of fun. If I remember right, Manny used an Ebay turbo for his 5S-FTE, but even if he didn't I know several other members here have and had decent results.
