these kits are custom made for our cars....the pipes are gonna look different for each car. The base kit is air-air intercooled and the upgraded kit is water-air intercooled. If u want to run a higher psi with a stock bottom end, then alcohol injection is recommend. Also, SF makes a equal-lenth manifold which is a upgrade for the kits. As far as BOV's go, the kit comes with a turbo XS BOV, or so they did, but u can purschase ur own BOV and send it to stafford and they will weld a flange on for ur BOV. You will not need the 3" downpipe unless ur motor is gonna be built and u will be pushing around 300hp.

not true.. 3'' downpipe will help out alot. period. and 300hp is not far off the base kit buddy.

That's what Stafford told me, cuz i was gonna get the bigger downpipe. Plus, if u have a good exhaust set-up, you will have no problems.

base kit dynoed on a stock EX at 8psi was 183hp........that's pretty far from 300
