Default Q's on Turbo Tech T-76 kit

I'm looking into buying one used. The member sent the turbo out to get refreshed or whatever its called, and would be getting it back in two or so weeks. Anywho, it has an A2A FMIC and thats pretty much all I know about the kit. I'm just curious, I've heard that you lose the A/C with this kit. Fact/Fiction? Also wanna make sure it keeps PS and heat and stuff. How hard was install? Since this is used kit I can be safe in assuming there would be practically zero fabrication, correct? Just weld the DP to the exhaust?

Thanks!

well first off, is it the street kit or race kit. those are two completly different kits.
street kit keeps ALL accessories, race you have to remove the AC.
turbo tech does a good job with there kits as you dont have to fab anything to get them in, most go in with little tweaking as well.
im gonna say that kit is a street kit since it comes with the A2A, the race has an A2W but some have got the race kit from speed inc with an A2A

anyways its not a bad kit if you want all your accessories, but this kit is only designed to support a max of 550-600rwhp

The poor header design, it uses a log header and the other bank of the motor feeds through the back of that log and into the turbo. Very restrictive.
