and get everything at wholesale. I could not come close to the price it cost me for a Star Stage 1 kit from DSS. Even his normal selling price would be impossible to buy new parts for the price of the kit.

BTW: it will take 3 weeks to a month to actually get the kit to your door. that is on Star....Mike(DSS)has no control over that.

think about it: Star Stage 1 kit

t3/t04 turbo (Mike can get you E-trim for free)
manifold
wastegate
downpipe
dumppipe
hks bov
intake
connectors/clamps
fcd
vortech fmu with hoses
walbro 255 pump
intake filter
SS oil line and return line
probably missing something, but you get the idea! add up the numbers and you will see you could never build your own kit for what it costs for the star kit. this is with new parts of course.

For a good install, I bought an amp install kit and did the fuel pump rewire, silicone hose kit for all my vacume hoses, autometer phantom boost and egt w/probe, dual guage autometer dash bezel, cold air intake extension for the turbo(just till I get the starion installed).

Do not forget the extras, it adds up really quick. All in All.....this is the most fun I have had driving my car in the 4.5 years of ownership.
