There are a few issues I can see with buying this kit:
1. You don't have the kit in hand, so it isn't up to you when it is shipped. We all know of SF's reputation of saying that something has been sent and you finally see it three months later.
2. You paid for all of the upgrades but who knows what will show up in the box. They have even told you that the wastegate isn't in yet. You can't run the turbo without a wastegate, so until that is received, the kit is useless. There's also no telling what could be missing out of the kit (wouldn't be the first time that SF has left parts out of a "complete" kit).
Not trying to thread hijack, man, but some people may fail to realize that these things could become an issue very quickly. For everything, altogether, brand new, that isn't a bad price.
And just so I understand correctly, you are asking a total of 3,300 plus shipping, right?
Good luck on the sale.

I am sending a friend who lives in California to visit SF this week. He'll take a day off from work. I have told him to bring this issue to an end no matter what it takes. He'll also take along his camera and take shots of the kit and its components. At least that way I can tell if the kit is "complete". Seconldy, if the wastegate is not in by then, my friend is going to get a refund for the wastegate (from SF), buy it from the market and put it in. And if all this is done, he can pick up the kit from SF and take it along with himself. In the meanwhile if there is a buyer for the kit, he/she will get the delivery from my friend rather than SF. Thus, solving all of the issues mentioned above (by andyman97).
And yes I am asking a total of $3,300 plus shipping.

Has your friend went yet? Would you mind getting your friend to check on mine and Reddragon333's kits? Mine will be the one with the equal length mani and bronze piping. Reddragon's I believe has gunmetal piping and is the same setup as mine. I have not heard a SINGLE thing regarding either of our kits and I have already negotiated a more than reasonable deadline for my kit.
