    please email the company who will sell you the kit and ask them.
    there is no way possible someone on here would know better than they will.
    if the company does not know. do not buy from them.

    Dude, it looks very much like One is just the turbo, where as the other is the entire kit...

    Yeah, they are both from the same place. One looks like just the turbo, the other has a full item list lower down the page, and by all accounts is a bargain if the parts are genuine. Only thing is that you have to trust a states supplier, and pay for the shipping...

    if the parts are worth over $1000 customs will stop them and you'll have to pay GST, import duties and customs agent fees.

    I just received an ecu, boost controller and hand controller from Japan and was charged $560 in fees on $1500 worth of goods.....

    My injectors which came to around $600 were not stopped by customs, no fees at all.

    Plus dont forget those prices are in US dollars.

    Yeah, I forgot to mention that. Either you'll have to pull a dodgy, or mark 'samples only' on the box. Not that I reccomend or condone these practices.
