also i know someone from around where i live and he has been on an ebay kit for a year and a half now.

I dont see why not. my plan is to run all of the kit but look into a new wastegate and be prepared for the turbo to go out... maybe get a brand name turbo or something to replace it once i get going. and im not worried about the manifold cracking cause i know pleanty of good welders. Another reason i want the godspeed kit is cause of the way the IC piping is routed. cause i shaved the stock airbox hole

Thats exactly wat i was gonna do. :lol: I wanted 2 run the godspeed kit but buy a garrett or other brand turbo.

Yea I was gonna run the Godspeed for a bit tho
