in general the feedback on those kits is quite negative. do a search and see for yourself!

You get no customer support, warranty is in question (due to lack of communication from them), you get no instructions and you will end up buying more/different parts for it to make it work, but it does work. I ended up replacing some parts out of this kit. After dealing with this guy/gal and the short time of communication we did, knowing what I know now I would not purchase this kit from these people, but now it is your turn!

What parts wouldn't fit on the car, and did you do internals as well?

Basically too keep it short I replaced the manifold, made a new custom downpipe, bought a different map sensor device, intercooler came with no mounting hardware and was oversized which made for alot of cutting in the front end and got shorted on silicone fittings. I am sure there are other things I am probably forgetting. The internals I have are stock yet, but a rebuild is in the planning for next year.
