"im about to buy a used stage 1 kit from kidcap0, and i had some questions that he could not answer. first of all: how much do you think a used stage 1 hahn kit is worth?"
Depends on milage,condition, and exactly what parts are being supplied. I paid around 1400 for my stage 1 kit used, with 5000 or so miles. It was a complete kit also.
"second: i had a star stage 2 at one point in my life, and it had a little black box for the fuel cut defender... does hahn use that too?"
Yes, HRC uses a FCD, or you can use the missing link check valve
"thirdly:the star had an external wastegate with an allen wrench whole to adjust boost... looking at the pictures of the hahn kit i do not see a wastegate, so i was wondering how do you adjust boost pressure without a boost controler? "
HRC turbos use an internal wastegate. The wastegate actuator sits under the turbo, and a small vac line goes from the compressor outlet, to the wastegate actuator. To raise boost, just insert a boost controller into this vac line.
"fourthly: if i get a stock gst intercooler(if they have one, which im not sure if they do or not; smic im guessing) will i be able to hook that up pretty easily?"
Find a 1st gen SMIC, they are easily found, and fairly cheap. Then, get a bunch of mandrel bends from JC Whitney, and cut/fab up your own piping.
"5th: he told me that 95-96 have different fuel systems so he did not need a black box and i have a 98 so i do need one..... if that is true, will hahn supply that for pretty cheap or should i put out more money on a missing link? thanks guys, i appreciate your help"
IMO, just get the missing link, as many have had problems with HRC's black box FCD.
