Well you can buy the kit complete right from ATI, dont see the reason to peice it together.

if you could order it without the twin hi-flow intercoolers youd be better off, but ATI re did their brackets to be a much improved deisgn.

seems alot easier than trying to slap your own kit together

my buddy is building his own vortech kit right now, and is having many problems finding everything. you would be better off buying a complete kit.

Buy a kit, you'll save nothing piecing things together and having custom parts made.

I would say your better of buying an engineered kit. The bracket with sufficient belt wrap will be first problem, followed charge air piping and IC.

Good Luck,
