My kit is here as well........ Amazing, kit was shipped from Australia on the 30th, (they are a day ahead of us) and got it early this morning, thursday, the 1st! I couldn't even ship something to myself and it get here that fast. Packages packed better than anything I have ever ordered, and that is a lot of crap. Looked over items, looks top notch, nothing looks like it cam from home depot, or ace hardware as some other kits that I've owned over the years......STS for instance. Has 3 Tial wastegates 38mm....every pipe is stainless....looks nice.

Ah, my bad. Let me do a cut and paste:
Ok, thoughts first: The packaging on this kit was OUTSTANDING. Everything marked and secured in it's own packaging. Very nicely done. I'm only going to post the quick pics I took tonight, I'll tear the boxes open tomorrow evening and get some detailed pics.
One thing -- I just inspected a couple of the boxes because I thought I was missing some stuff, namely the flex hoses for the intake filter to turbo. They're in the boxes, and these things are NOT like dryer hose, they are freaking STOUT. No worries about collapsing here. Anyway, on to the pics!!!
As the boxes arrived (at least UPS didn't lose this delivery).
Piping, and a kittah inspection:
Manifold:
Manifold:
Piping, head shielding, intercoolers, wastegates, and another kittah inspection:
Wastegate box:
Backside of intercoolers:
Turbo's and boxes of all the other stuff:
Looking at it, everything is going to fit fine into the back of my Vette to take to the shop in a couple of days.
