Used Arkay turbo setup



So I found this on Craig's List.  Here is what the seller wrote:
"I never used the turbo kit myself.  I bought it years ago from a guy who
pulled it from a Rabbit GTI.  I saw the car running, many times.  He was
laying down some pretty decent numbers.  Something like 220 HP, if I recall?
Or maybe 202 HP? I'll see if I can find the files on my computer, with the
info.

It is the "Stage 3" kit, or Intercooled, w/ fuel & spark control. The turbo
is definitely still in good condition.   Plus there is an additional turbo,
w/ an additional manifold too.  (The second turbo could probably use a
rebuild, but I have never seen it run)  Here's a couple of pics of what's
all included.  Looking to get $1000 for everything.  Plus I do have some
other goodies that were going to get used with this kit, but the project has
been cancelled at this point.   Volvo 6 pot fuel distributor, dual radiator
fans, Complete cylinder head rebuild parts. (new intake, and exhaust valves,
new keepers, lifters, seals, guides, etc. All German parts)"

Here are the photos he sent: http://picasaweb.google.com/ydrogs/TURBO

Anyone think it is worth $1000?  From what I have read the Arkay turbo kits
used an IHI RHB5 turbo.  Here is a thread on Hortex about it and at the end
the guy selling this kit chimes in

After watching all the turbos at the track today I have an extreme need for
one.
