It's pretty accurate for what someone will encounter here in the US for garages and cheap v expensive kits. We do not have cheap highly skilled professional nissan mechanics in every city and town as slovenia has.
I don't get why you're insulted, my comment was merely aiming at the way Donut fellas approach issues. Hats off to them for making fantastic content that I watch the moment they publish it, but to be honest, they make some amateur mistakes constantly. Last Subaru build they did, had a blown engine because the guys thought it's ok to push the newly built engine without breaking it in. They should be smarter than that.

That being said - you're right - ebay turbo kit will be surely missing flanges, mounting points, hoses, many other bits and pieces you'll need to either get extra or fabricate yourself. And a reliable mechanic would make it fit, although his labor would probably approach prices of proper bolt-on kits.

I'm not sure though, what Slovenia or the price of mechanic shops here have to do with this discussion though.
