Default Is this mainfold any good??

I cheek couple kits like PES or Apr stage 3 and they are freaky expensive. So I was thinking about making my own kit, with the biggest turbo I can find, and they add injectors, FM intercooler etc. and a chip from PES. But the thing is that I will need custom made exhaust manifold for the turbo (witch can be very expensive). Today I saw this think on eBay mainfold
IS it any good?? Because it seems to me too cheap to be true 
Let me know…
Thanks
ps. Or maybe just go for teh compleate kit?? like this one LINK but instead of Hybrid T3/T4 T04E Turbocharger go straight to GARRETT GT28RS or GARRETT GT2871R

I dont know if I would trust that kit. Do they have a site that shows that they have actually tested the kit on the car and it runs good. I would stick with a known Audi parts manufacturer that has tested their product. IMO
