i'm going to have to leave up to someone else to make the video, sorry guys. I'll have acceleration videos up sometime, but it's too sketchy trying to film a race between two S2ks in Irvine. Last thing i need is a speed contest ticket. sorry to disappoint.

I registered on this forum to reply to this thread. I've installed two of these kits and wouldn't mind to answer any questions people have.
The customer (and myself) were pretty happy with the kit though I'd personally expect a little better quality control considering the price. Some argue "I could build this cheaper" but there are plenty of customers who are more interested in driving the car rather than wrenching on it (or waiting for a speed shop to gather all the parts for a custom kit)
Pros
Very minor modifications needed on the car for it to fit (cutting heat shields, rerouting hoses etc)
Only basic tools needed for installation
California smog legal! (a big deal)
Step by step "dummies" install guide
Exhaust manifold looks like a high quality part
A complete kit means the car should fire up the very first time (piece of mind)
All hardware included *
No need to modify the oil pan *
Cons
The included silicon couplers, hoses and clamps are pretty low quality. If it was my car I'd buy new T-bolt clamps, multi layer silicone couplers and use higher quality (silicone?) vacuum lines and air hoses
The oil return line screws into the drain plug which essentially means you have to do your own oil changes or take it to a performance shop so they don't screw up the drain hose
Included air filter element is a low quality "rice" style foam element with plastic shroud.
The air filter essentially sits in the engine bay. I'd personally extend the inlet pipe to a better location.
Parts are not labeled as shown in the documentation. You can probably figure out what part is what but a label would have been nice
Oil cooled turbo (no coolant) so add the cost of a turbo timer
The replacement injectors are taller and use a different plug so you must use spacers and pigtail converters (both included)
The fuel pump sock looks like crap (easily remedied by reusing the OEM pump sock)

Thanks so much for chiming in. I have a few questions...
1. I've been running this kit without a turbo timer now for a few months, should I expect to see turbo-seal problems down the line without a timer?
2. Which alternative intake element would you recommend and/or piping route from it's current location?
3. Do you know of an adapter or a quick-release kit for the oil drain plug that would essentially eliminate the possibility of some lube shop hacking up the hose?
Thanks in advance...

An 18g is pretty big guys! Evo's come standard with a 16g and can make close to 400awhp so it's safe to safe to saw this turbo can see around this number with the proper supporting mods.
