Don't buy anything yet. Read a lot and ask a lot of questions. Those hp/tq ratings are the MAX they think they can get out of the kit and they do not bother telling you how much internal work you need to do nor do they tell you that you will need a nice engine management system (EMS) to run it properly. When it says 7 psi, that means that the wastegate spring that comes with that kit is rated at 7 psi. You will be able to boost a good deal more than that with a manual or electronic boost controller. If you're going to boost more than 10 or 12 psi, then I'd definitely rebuild the motor and sleeve it.
