Get it, you can run 200psi on your stock H22A4 block.

I'd suggest reading up more on FI before buying it.

It seems like this ad is aimed at the uninformed. 35mm wastgate? F that. plus, there is no spec for the blow of valve, just that its extremely loud (RICE). Looks like a ripoff, plus that filter looks shitty, I've heard of shitty filters on turbo setups breaking and getting sucked into the pipe into the turbo and ruining. plus, no feul management
Read some books, get your own parts serperately so you can get all top of the line stuff. JMO

i think for that amount of money spent on that turbo kit, it can be spent on something custom and better and has what you like to it

Notice that the 'kit' comes with NO fuel management at all, and the piping apparently fits both 4th and 5th gen ludes. Nevermind the shitty manifold.
