You might want to rethink using that turbo kit or plan and budget to replace and fix a lot of it. There have also been issues where the components sold in the kit were fake. Another member found out his Tial wastegate was a fake.

Also, junk the tuning solution it came with. It is shit and will not work, you need to change the kit to a pull through systems and use the Cobb or the Apadtronic to tune it.

Let me make this clear, only one person I know of has ever gotten this kit to work well and reliably and he ended up fixing or replacing a lot of it. I would also rethink using Atkins seals in the engine, The quality control is poor and I know of two people who received brand new seals that were warped. My buddy did not realize they were warped until his freshly rebuilt engine did not start and we had to pull it out of the car and disassemble it again.
