Holy Blow-off Valve Batman! A turbo for $3800?
I saw this in the most recent issue of import tuner and scanned it. I almost wet myself.
is this too good to be true? Anyone else have any info?

I need this. The only thing that worries me is that it seems strange that the IC comes with it at that price. Other than that since it's a single turbo, the price doesn't look too low.
Edit: I doubt it comes with new injectors and engine management so that could bring up the price a bit.

If the turbo is an actual GT30Pro Turbine, like a GT3037S it would be well suited, but the turbo pictured doesen't represent your typical "GT-30" it looks more along the lines of a larger T25/28 unit.
Maybe it just looks small in the pic

At first I thought the same thing. then I realized it had actuators. so I figure the other manifold bolts up on the top right. This is for a right hand drive car people, so I don't think it will work on ours, but it would be nice for 3800.

Good pint about right hand drive though.

SSR so could your company simply model a left hand drive single turbo kit like this one? there are a lot of ppl that would buy a single turbo kit, including me. plus it would be much cheaper than the twin kits. (5k rangeish?)

At first I thought it may be an external wastegate flange which would indicate that this is a twin turbo setup, but now I can see it is internally wastegated so I think this is a single turbo setup also... Looks pretty either way.

I just turbo'd my non-turbo '85 300ZX and those are stock with a single turbo on the driver's side. The passenger bank has a crossover pipe behind the engine. So it's been done on a Z before from the factory.
Anyway, after all that haze, I'm going to be glad to pay someone to put a twin turbo kit on my 350. A single turbo is good, but this setup just doesn't have the same flow as symmetric manifolds.
