You are correct. $139 on Amazon. I have a hunch this same kit probably goes by different brand names around eBay and Amazon, like these things tend to do.

The quality is good. I was impressed by the packaging, instructions, and powder coating. I work in the coatings industry. I didn't expect the finish to be good at all and I was prepared to re-paint it on arrival. I was happy I didn't need to.

The main tube is 3". It has a 3.5" elbow at the end where the sensor mounts and the cone filter attaches. I don't know how this compares to other intakes where actual dyno research was done (like Mishimoto), so I don't have a clue if 3" is actually bad or not. My guess is that the intake doesn't need to be bigger than the compressor inlet diameter and being too big might even decrease velocity, but I'm not an engineer. LOL I didn't choose this for scientific reasons. I chose it because it was affordable and I'm glad I did.

I had a crack in the factory intake at the mounting bracket that holds the 90 degree section where the plumbing goes into the filter box. I didn't dislike the factory intake, it actually looked like it was adequate But that cracked piece was enough motivation to make me shop for an intake. The more I disassembled, the more problems I found. Cracked rubber pieces, mostly.

The pieces fit well. It included a simple filter shield box with heat protective paneling. The cone filter looks like the cheapest part in the kit, and I intend to replace it right away. It just doesn't seem like it was manufactured well. Everything else included in the kit seemed well made.

And I was very happy with the sound when I was done. Other than this, the engine and exhaust are stock. With this intake it's really not louder, but I can actually hear my turbo and bypass valve for the first time. I use my car for work and I need to make phone calls on the highway. With this intake, it's basically as quiet in the car as it was before. You only hear a little whoosh when you get into boost.

Performance-wise, I wasn't expecting to notice a difference, and I don't. But at least I didn't notice a decrease in performance. And I am happy to report that my mpg has neither suffered nor improved in the two days I've had it installed.

All in all, I recommend it! I'll make an imgur album tomorrow.
