Thanks for the info... you guys have been a ton of help and are going to save me a bunch of money.

Im ordering the ATI stuff through a local shop... Im getting a REALLY nice deal on it trust me. I would NEVER order anything through a manufacturer themselves... Ive been in retail and I know better.

How come a BOV wont work vs a bypass? What exactly did you find/see between the two?

damn those physics teachers.... they lied to me!

They didnt lie they just left out lots of varyables. The design of the kit for example. DT, ICoolers ect. Oh! and about 10 % more back pressure than boost isnt a restriction.
