why didnt anyone with the star kit tell me that nothing fits correctly with it? the turbo to throttle bottle piping was too long, the downpipe is not even close to fitting (im going to have to bring it to a muffler shop to get it bent), the threads on the oil pressure sensor bypass socket were so off that it would not even let me screw in the oil pressure sensor, the oil return tube was way too short ( i had to go to pep boys and get a larger tube to fit properly). damn this really pisses me off, did anyone else have these problems with the star kit, or did i get a bad batch of shit? im soo anxious to get this car running, but i keep running into obstacles like this that are out of my control. this install would almost be a no brainer if these parts actually fit. damn i want my car running

thats one of the reasons i got a cutsom kit done by a local shop, if i wanted to spend that much money, everything better fit correctly and not be ghetofied in the process.
not saying the kits are bad, if i were to go back i'd be 100% more likely to get a kit than a custom setup, long story, but i HATE the shop and will never go back again.
