Hey guys,

Out of the entire kit you can use the turbo and maybe a pipe or two... And possibly the intercooler... The blow off valve will leak and the wastegate will most certainly seize, spike, or just suck cause its rated at 7psi rather then 15-20-30.
Universal parts tend to not work with custom setups...

$500 plus $100 shipped, then you still need a down pipe and manifold let's say $500 for both, which would be an awesome deal, tuning is another easy $3-700 depending on how you take care of engine management, and who's doing it...so roughly $1,500. it's not bad, but you may want to consider high quality used parts, you can keep the cost pretty close to the same that way, i just wouldn't trust something that inexpensive...i would run an Evo 3 GT before i'd put that turbo on my car, I know money isn't real, and value or cost is sometimes irrelevant, but i wouldn't take the chance. I bet you could do better if you lurk the Evo for sale board, and take your time, research average pricing for the parts you seek, and snag the deals...hell i've seen the RRM kit for sale a couple times...
as far as what i can see for the kit, to answer your question, you would need a tight-ish 180 degree U or J bend. It's possible the correct oil fittings for your engine are not included. you will also need an intake with MAF housing and reculation inlet, or just a MAF housing somewhere in the charge pipe well after the blow off valve, a lot of 4g eclipse guys use the *** end of a cold air intake for this. It also allows to you vent to atmosphere if you want your whole neighborhood to know you got boost
