Default Phamspeed budget kit?

I am thinking about buying a Phamspeed budget kit. Comes with a T70 & FMIC. It needs a BOV & Wastegate. What else do I need to get to make this a complete kit and where would I get them from & for how much? Very interested in the kit but I don't want to buy it and not know what I'm getting into.

how good is a "good" price? You have to factor in the cost of fabricating some of the plumbing yourself, or paying someone to do it, because therein lies the difference in the budget and non budget kit. have you seen the kit? and was the FMIC plumbing fabricated by phamspeed or the current owner? If it was done by the current owner, I would wonder about possible fitment problems. do you know why he/she is selling it? as far as horsepower, with that turbo, you can expect around 450-470.

If you buy it new from them it comes with the wastegate, but the BOV is an add on option. Maybe he's buying one of the ones for sale in the classifieds.

nothing wrong with 450 rwhp!!! The size of the turbo will only effect the spool time. The amount of psi will directly affect the power he is putting down. (generalized statement, braces for flames)

So do you all know what would be needed? He told me the only piping he had was this: www.tannercreative.com/piping.jpg

If thats all the piping he has, you will need the pipes that go from the downpipe to the cat-back, and all of the intercooler piping from the turbo to the intake. I talked to John a couple days ago and he said he does not make the old style tubing any more. So whatever is missing you will need to build custom.
