Too good to be true?


Hey guys, I was looking into f/i for my sixer and my mechanic friend is going to sell me this kit he has that supposedly fits the 04 stangs for $500, which sounds insanely cheap if everything checks out...he gave me this info about it, is this complete or am i missing something?

1/8 NPT oil inlet
T3/T4 hybrid

(1) Front Mount Intercooler:
Large design cools down the turbocharged air efficiently
Strong TIG welds will support high PSI levels
Lightweight aluminum racing intercooler
Extra thick core provides ample cooling
2.5" cold outlet & 2.5" hot inlet
Less then 2% pressure drop

(1) Universal Intercooler Piping Kit:
Lightweight yet strong aluminum piping
May necessitate light modification to fit
(16) stainless steel worm gear clamps
(2) 2.5” 90 degree silicone couplers
(6) 2.5” straight silicone couplers

Can be adjusted for any PSI level desired
Control your boost with a precise click
Includes complete install kit
Anodized aluminum finish
CNC machined design

(1) Slim Cooling Fan:
Fan can be used to cool: A/C condenser, oil or transmission cooler, mounting on an intercooler to prevent heat soak, or cooling a a2w radiator
Slim design provides excellent engine bay clearance
Includes the mounting tabs for a easy zip tie install
Reversible design can either pull or push air
Versatility of a push/pull reversible fan
Superior flow of a curved-blade design

Failure to reduce the temperature of the turbo could result in "coking" of oil inside the turbo
Coking is the baking of oil, turning it into a grimy substance

Heat kills the turbochargers compressor inlet. Keep the heat out of the cold piping.
Control additional engine bay heat and prevent overheating.

(1) High Flow Breather Cap:
Extreme high flow
Keeps crankcase ventilation clean for emissions
Works in conjunction with the catch can to keep inside of turbo piping oil free

Easy solution to run aftermarket coolant sensor
Provides more precise readings then the stock location
Features 2 installation clamps for an easy add on
38mm ends fits most OEM coolant hoses
Strong Aluminum construction

(1) Non-divided T3 Flange

Ok, I didn't read everything in detail...but no it is NOT complete.

You would be missing several things: Turbo headers, custom routed piping, wastegate, BOV, gauges, MAF, Injectors, Fuel pump, and probably some more small stuff.

However, for everything you would be getting for $500...yes I still think its a good deal

Yeah i knew about the injectors, fuel lines, and MAF, but thanks for the other details i was forgetting.
And to silver sixer, thats probably where he got it from, cuz i looked on ebay and found the exact same list -.-, well at least i know one of my friends isnt mechanically inclined.

Any idea if TMA is coming back, i thought he was supposed to a bit ago and I've heard he's a guy who you can trust with that.
