Wasnt planning on boosting it this quick, but Josh sent the link to me, and at under $500 for everything included I had to jump on it. Car goes in the garage at the first sign of snow, and should come back out next spring a little bit meaner.
Included in the kit: Star turbo manifold, with Turbonetics Deltagate, T3/T4 Turbo (Turbonetics turbine housing, XS Power compressor housing) Star 2.5" downpipe Straight pipe for cat delete Large FMIC Brand new Ebay IC piping kit SSQV knock off BOV welded in charge pipe Walbro 255 LPH Fuel pump Vortech 12:1 FMU Oil feed line Oil pan with turbo drain installed Glowshift Boost Gauge
I am going to sell my extra exhaust manifold, as well as one of the intercoolers (should I keep this one or the Star FMIC?) and sell the FMU to put money towards DSM 450 injectors and a 1:1 FPR.

Honestly I was looking at that. I was like Hmm, this is how they came in the kit, but Every DP Ive seen has a flex section in it.

A bigger intercooler isn't always needed. Personally, i'd go with ever one has stronger fins so probably the Star intercooler since this one looks like an ebay one (not bad in anyway, just week fins) and from what i've noticed from alot of ebay cores is that over time the fins get incredibly messed up. Especially on a car that's driven on the streets alot. Just my input tho. Great find!

My downpipe only lasted about 2 months without a flew pipe installed before it broke at the flange bolted to the turbo. Save the headache later and go ahead and put one on now while its off. Especially if your on stock motor mounts that engine is gonna rock hard between shifts under boost.

Probably why your dp has lasted so long. I was talking about brick tho, if he had polys. Either way its a pita having to back track, knowing it could have been prevented.
