you dont have to pay for the kit if you really dont want to. the seller will put a unpaid strike against you but if its your first ebay will waive it. At the worse you will just have a unpaid strike against you. Not much damage done been there done that. what i dont understand how did you press commit to buy by mistake. first you have to press buy then you have to press commit so you had to press buy now first? are you sure it was a accedent?

Might be longer than that since 99.999999932% of the kit is junk and will need to be replaced.

Well since 99% of the kit is the hot side for pipes, can you explain what pipes need to be replaced?

Did you buy this kit or know someone and have seen the kit in person?

I was just saying that even if it did give me 450 I would be happy. I know in all reality the kit will give me around 500 to 550rwhp.

The only issue you had was the flange which everyone else has already discussed. I am looking for other issues =)

There have been numerous threads about this kit. The quality is for ****: poor welding, crappy polished steel, thin weak flanges, and on and on. It is a poor cheap Chinese knock off.

Yea I will have to see how it does.

Anyways, I have been searching for a thread for a DIY single turbo build so i can kinda understand what other parts I need. Anyone have any links to a build that has the parts listed on it?

Thanks

I think it is basically identical to the PTK kit. Here is a link to some of the pictures.

I have been trying to find more pics of the PTK to see exactly how it routes. I know they are on this site somewhere but the search brings back pages and pages of results.
