Need some opinions...

I found this turbo kit for sale and was wondering if anyone on here might have some experience with this kind of set up for a jetboat. It was in a jetboat and is supposedly complete and ready to run. The only down side that I can see is that there is no intercooler and no waste gates to regulate boost. I would assume one would have to be carefull in the hot summer months without an intercooler. I like it because it would all fit under my hatch without any modifications.

Any input.

These are cool, need to run them with limited boost and the compression ratio should not exceed about 8.0:1, otherwise they work pretty well, will add about 50 -75 HP depending on the build, not a bolt on and go though...
