Not colorful, shiny, or adjustable. Your swag rating drops several points without them!
I'm definitely with goodhart. Get a proper dampener, whether OE or aftermarket like this:

I've ran ebay turbos and manifolds before on a couple different cars......
The manifolds work fine as long as you have a welder handy so you can weld it back up when it cracks.
The turbos work fine as long as you are completely prepared to have one scatter and take out your engine, which were stock 6 and 7 bolts in my case, and I was finding them for $250-350 at the time.
On a fresh build, ditch the China junk. You're better off running a stock exhaust manifold (though this will also drop your swag rating) and a bolt on turbo setup. It will save you alot of headache (and possible heartache when you throw a stroker with <10k into the scrap pile).
Keep the picture coming, we like pictures!
