Default anyone fit a turbo kit off ebay?

Gday guys, Ive just bought my ford falcon, its a series 3 au forte. Ive had it a week and ive already lowered it it, fitted 18 inch wheels , and fitted extractors and exhaust.
I dont know about you guys, but i have acess to a dyno, and was suprised to see that after fitting ectractors and exhaust, it only gained 7hp at the wheels, from 163 to 170hp. The air fuels are suprisingly still rich bout 11.8.
I actually only did it to lean it out a bit so its better on fuel, but i havnt really succeded in either really making any power or fuel economy,{currently getting about 480kms on 60 litres round town}

Anyway,what I would like to know is, has anyone bought a bolt on turbo kit from ebay, theyre supposedly around the $1000 mark. Has anyone fitted one, and what power , problems etc encountered. cheers
