Total waste of money.
For that money you should look for a second hand Mantzel or Dbilas. Both of these will fit. If your engine is a C16XE, you need the lower inlet from an X16XE. This is the best thing you can do to start off with apart from a good service.

The fit is a bit shit though. You need to move the header tank and a couple of other bits.

Mantzels can be bought from Mantzel in Germany. Mine cost around £520 and took a week to come: -

Dbilas can be bought from Regal: -
