Or you could not be a jackass and try to answer the guys question.
Anyways I ran into a couple of problems but still love my kit and would recommend it. My fuel pump on my fmu burned out, a few small oil leaks that were my fault and easily fixed, and the nuts from the manifold to the turbo came loose causing my car to sound like ****. A bitch to fix but just small things really.
I like the SF kit but it took forever to get, was missing parts, and getting a hold of them was impossible. Hope this helps.

Unless you got money to take your car somewhere everytime something goes wrong but what will you learn from that...nothing
Problems will occur whenever you make something into what it wasn't orignally made to be. I personally got a lot of headaches but I pieced mine together; it was all worth it in the long run.

Do i suggest it? Yes, if you want to do something different and you have the time, $, and effort to support it then definately do it. Its one of the best feelings having a turbo vehicle. But if you're one of those people selling your car in a year for a scion or whatever dont waste your time
