If you go with Josh@KYTP you have different setups to chose from and can also keep ac if you would like or do away with it...I've been looking into getting a kit from KYTP just trying to figure out some other things first like motor rear gears which turbo setup but keeping the ac for sure

your 500$ kit quickly turns into 2k, trust me. You need Spohn solids, new fans, you need to get everything ceramic coated because of the heat it generates, you need to cut, reweld and in some cases hammer pieces to make it work, you need to pull the header to change spark plugs, you need to reroute and get hi-temp power steering lines and all of that is just to make the hot side work. That doesnt include all the money for the cold side pieces, turbo, BOV, WG, bla bla bla. If you have alot of patience, a welder and dont mind looking at pieces going "How the **** can this work?" then sure, get the kit. I weighed the 5k for josh's kit vs ebay. I have all winter(alaskan winter = 7 months) so when **** starts to aggravate me I have the option to walk away and come back. I have probably spent close to 4k at this point including all the pieces in my sig. If you get the ebay kit, dont expect this to be a weekend job or even a month or 2.

I have about 3500 in my entire ebay kit as well. Don't get me wrong Josh has some great stuff and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him or some of the others that make kits. My thing is if you have the know how why not try it? I actually am thinking about buying another one to cut up and reconfigure.

Hey Dean95 when you reconfigure shoot me a PM and let me know how much would you want for a kit already modified to be slapped on and Fbody. Im sure im not the only one interested. I have heard Josh and many others have some bad *** setups but they all go over 4k.

.As for the Ebay setups. Yes they are Cheap to buy and will do the deed. I wont argue that at all. The quality is what you would expect from a $500 setup. It can and has been made to work though.

Very well said. I have the e-bay kit and if you don't mind taking the time to piece together everything you need and are a DIYer you may want to try the e-bay kit. But if you want a kit that is going to bolt straight up and give you no problems then try one of the sponsers on the site like Josh. Also think about customer service, which you are not going to get with the e-bay kit.
