lol, you saw that too.

IMO I would never buy any e-bay "kit" unless it was a known mane brand such as revhard, drag, or greddy (although I'd never buy a greddy kit, power output is to minimal for my taste)...
You can build your own kit for less money then a k20 swap and still beat it (performance wise) the d16 is a great motor to turbo and makes good number in stock form.
Don't get me wrong, the k20 swap in the eg looks awesome and performs great, but the cost per reward is kind of out of balance IMO. If you want maximum performance with a stock motor then the k20 is your engine. If your looking maximum performance with a modified engine then a boosted d16 is your best bet.

I can tell you from experience, the k20 swap is a pain in the ass. Sure they make swap kits, but it's still a pain in the ass to get everything to fit correctly...it's still not a bolt-in swap....it's takes some work still
