Thanks RePete as I have the exact same questions. But one of RePete's questions asks if it will be bad for the turbo kit if the engine is pretty much stock. What I would like to know is, would it be bad for a fairly stock engine to have this kit.

My CT20b is on its way out (never ever buy a used turbo, no matter how low the mileage on it), and this kit is basically the same price as a new Toyota turbo. I was happy with my CT20b, so I don't want to have to spend more just to make this kit work. I don't intend to drive hard every time I'm behind the wheel (but I do like to have fun if I find a nice straight away). So, would it hurt this kit to have it on lower boost levels (~13-17 psi) most of the time?

I have upgraded internals, exhaust, and a Greddy intercooler. Everything else is stock. Would the Street Brawler T3/T4 kit be right for me?

Thanks,
- Ben
