That kit comes with EVERYTHING all the steel braided and rubber lines, pipes, fittings, flanges, gaskets, missing link, intercooler pipes and couplers, downpipe, manifold, turbo, airfilter, BOV, and wastegate. Like i said i put the ss wastegate up to my friends TiAL and took them both apart, not only are the internals the exact same but you can use the same springs in them to regulate boost. When i first saw my manifold I was like DAMN thats nice. Then I started looking into the pipes and flanges and I was like DAMN who ever welded this thing must have welded it with their eyes closed. The pipes are unevenly cut and welded, to me the manifold was very poorly made. But my friends kit held up so im pretty sure mine will too, But it was all BRAND NEW in the box. That 2 year warranty wasnt a joke either they replaced the turbo no questions asked.

Im planning on upgrading my manifold and turbo once its all setup and i may end up replacing the entire kit later on down the road. But its a damn good start for the money. Also I don't know if it was a mistake in shipping but the downpipe they sent has a two bolt flange welded on it instead of a three bolt flange, its a very easy fix so I still have no complants about the kits.
Well thats awesome please if you can keep me or the forum informed on how the turn out went. I may just have to buy this for my lude
P.S. pictures of the install would be awesome also. It doesnt come with all the piping and stuff to?
