i believe mekkafire started a similar thread and had a "problems" list, but if i understand correctly he passed away (and possibly never installed the kit)

the only thing on his list was you have to clock the turbo compressor housing around which isnt hard to do ..

one complaint i found about other kits was the flanges on the header being warped, but mine is VERY slightly warped .. not even enough to consider taking it to a machine shop, bolting it up should straighten it up though ..
I know you are trying to test it...that's why I posted above what I posted. If you are testing it, truly testing it, it needs to see the same abuse on the STREET AND TRACK over the long haul that the other more expensive kits will see...otherwise the variables aren't the same and it's a biased test. If you are really trying to test it, there needs to be a set of guidelines and variables followed, as with any experiment. This might all seem like a lot, but if you are really going for the "once and for all" proof like you claim, this needs to be done.
