Not a bad deal really. And free shipping is great. Those guys have good deals every now and then. I think this is one of them. If your going to go with a FMU setup this is good...really good. If you look at most kits they come with all kinda for cheap ass parts you change out later. I'm sure you'll be happy for a while with this kit. I like cheapturbos.com. I got my Turbo and wastegate from them. I really doubt the 20whp per pound of boost thing and those numbers they posted couldn't have been with the setup they have listed...nor that Turbo. But if your not going to go stand alone this is a good deal to get you started.

Wicked manifold, I like the lifetime warranty on the manifold and the downpipe looks good. I don't like the wastegate dumping to atmosphere, it's loud in a bad way and sooty. Other than that, it's not a bad starter setup.

I am in southern New Hampshire. I have a VAFC I can use with it.

The note with this setup mentioned you can't use your factory A/C setup, is there any way around this? No A/C would suck!

you should be able to run A/C with a smaller D/P. I know I'm running a 2.5 inch d/p till I clear the A/C unit and then it flares to 3 inches and runs like that all the way back.
