managed to get a hold of the upper section of this kit that joins the 2 turbo's...
its all alloy...
here's the auction I bought it thru...

I bought this with the intension of changing its slightly to fit with my 3" pipe work, I thought I would test fit before changing any of it...
here's what I found...
this fitment is total CRAP! to say the least...
the rear turbo pipe when bolted in place sits hard up against the clutch fluid cup,
and the up against the under side of the factory strut brace,
this is because the flange that bolts to the turbo outlet is not in the right place, its at least 5mm out... cut and re-weld to fix this.
now the found pipe... its even worse, only one bracket fits in place and that's the one on the front rocker cover one.
the turbo outlet pipe does sit down into the turbo outlet nor is it even aligned straight.
the pipe that goes to connect with the rear turbo section is not aligned.
the bracket at that end is also well out no where near bolting up.
the end that heads down to the cooler. is hard up against the power steering fluid cup.
also the bracket that the bolts to the turbo is soft as cheese, and not suitable for the job its ment to do.
also the welds may look ok on the out side, but far from being acceptable on the inside,
they have not been cleanup properly, and there where a few daggy bit which could come loose and go into your motor.
I do not have the rest of the kit to review but if this is anything to go by,
it will be a pile of crap! I would not recommend this to anyone
