Yes, it all clamps in perfectly, every piece is custom sized and bent for a perfect fit on any Miata '90-'05. I know this for a fact.
If you'll read the ad, the seller says:
NOTE: All of turbo parts and accessories do need to modification in order to fits perfectly.
But don't pay any attention to that. The seller is lying. It all fits perfectly from the start, trust me. An eBay seller couldn't sell you something that didn't fit, they're just being modest. The pieces are all top quality and you should buy that kit right now!!!

Ok, I've done some heavy pruning to get this thread back on topic. If your post was one of the 30 or so that were deleted, don't get all butt-hurt and start complaining. I simply nuked everything that was written after the flame war started.
Here's some good empirical data from a user at Miata.net who recently had a welded T3 log-style S/S manifold fail pretty severely:
MX-5 Miata Forum - Cheap eBay Manifold
EDIT: some further info from the owner of this manifold.
Wow. The manifold lasted less than 1,000 miles before developing the first crack. Even my Greddy manifold, which historically has had a reputation for being extremely crack-prone, is still running fine after nearly 4 years and close to 10,000 miles.

i know stainless isnt the best for a turbo manni.. anyways, would it be a good or bad idea to buy this kit, and eventually replace the turbo with a legit turbo down the road?

Yes.
You need to add T-bolt hose clamps. They are obviously not listed or pictured.
Since you know this, there is no reason to discuss it further.
This would certainly depend on your goals. Would your future plans involve running more than around 100Kpa of intake pressure?
And what do you think a "legit turbo" you would change to later would be?
You have given me precious little information on which to base my answer.

In all honesty, given the questions you are asking, you'd be way better off buying a used turbo setup from someone here.
And please read through the DIY faq. It'll answer a lot of the questions you are going to have.

I'm sorry guy, but have you even read through this entire thread? Just reading the very first post where three different turbo kits are discussed, and the parts they come with, will tell you if the kit is going to work for you or not.
